Boost could have picked up system-wide libbz2-dev installed and enable
this compression in iostreams. Nothing really wrong with this, but it
makes it so final Blender binary depends on bz2, which breaks default
linker flags.
This commit makes it so Boost is not using libraries which we don't
need, simplifying linking setup.

This aligns with the VFX reference platform 2020 along with the decision
to stick to Python 3.7, see T68774.
Blosc was downgraded to 1.5 as recommended by the OpenVDB documentation.
IlmBase and OpenEXR are now built together with CMake rather separately
using autoconf.

-No more hardcoded python35/36 tokens in the scripts
-disabled python module for boost, was not used
-Updated patches for python to support building with msvc2013
Note these are intended for platform maintainers, we do not intend to
support users making their own builds with these. For that precompiled
libraries from lib/ should be used.
Implemented by Martijn Berger, Ray Molenkamp and Brecht Van Lommel.
