gnu: python: Add "minimal" variants.

* gnu/packages/python.scm (python2-minimal, python-minimal): New
  variables.
  (wrap-python3): New procedure.
  (python-wrapper): Use it.
  (python-minimal-wrapper): New variable.
* gnu/packages/xml.scm (libxslt)[native-inputs]: Use
  PYTHON-MINIMAL-WRAPPER instead of PYTHON-WRAPPER.
* gnu/packages/xorg.scm (xcb-proto, libxcb, xorg-server): Likewise.
