Issue #25136: Support Apple Xcode 7's new textual SDK stub libraries.

As of Xcode 7, SDKs for Apple platforms now include textual-format stub
libraries whose file names have a .tbd extension rather than the
standard OS X .dylib extension.  The Apple compiler tool chain handles
these stub libraries transparently and the installed system shared libraries
are still .dylibs.  However, the new stub libraries cause problems for
third-party programs that support building with Apple SDKs and make
build-time decisions based on the presence or paths of system-supplied
shared libraries in the SDK.  In particular, building Python itself with
an SDK fails to find system-supplied libraries during setup.py's build of
standard library extension modules.  The solution is to have
find_library_file() in Distutils search for .tbd files, along with
the existing types (.a, .so, and .dylib).  Patch by Tim Smith.

# Note that, as of Xcode 7, Apple SDKs may contain textual stub

# shared libraries installed in /. The Apple compiler tool
# chain handles this transparently but it can cause problems
# for programs that are being built with an SDK and searching
# for specific libraries. Distutils find_library_file() now
# knows to also search for and return .tbd files. But callers
# of find_library_file need to keep in mind that the base filename
# of the returned SDK library file might have a different extension
# from that of the library file installed on the running system,
# for example:
# /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/
# MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/
# usr/lib/libedit.tbd
# vs
# /usr/lib/libedit.dylib
