Modular build against the python38 module.

[resend because lists did not like me previously.]

As far as I know, the Fedora/EPEL MBS/Koji can not do this without itself building a python38 module which matches/replaces the RHEL one. MBS can only use modules which it has built itself and does not have a way to understand about 'external' modules. [ All RHEL code is 'external' to both koji and mbs databases so they do not have a way to reference them for a build.]

Because of this, we have to use grobisplitter to put the python38 as a 'regular' rpm (which works because the pythons are parallel installable.).

I think what could be done is a python38-passlib package which was built against the python38 rpms.
