Backporting an upstream changes, because  recently pypi stops accept download using http ( https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2017-October/031712.html )

For slapos case, apparently it means all software releases where eggs where not in shacache stop working.

Another follow-up to fix MissingOption when the serialised value is None.

This fixes a syntax error on Python 3.

zc.buildout >= 2.5.3 is required to use newer versions.

This change is required to setup a test environment for this branch.

get is used by __getitem__, but also by other callers as it is public
method. So deserialize values if needed on each access by get, and
remove now needless deserialization in __getitem__

As Options.get is used internally, add Options._get without
deserialisation and use it in places, which expect clean result, and
adapt Options.get to be simple wrapper with deserialization without
using decoration with functools.

so that it can be imported even when buildout instance is not initialised.

Now specified patches are automatically applied on required eggs as well.

Fixup to commit "Add referred parts' hash strings in __buildout_signature__,
that invokes rebuild of a part when one of its (recursive) dependencies are
modified."

  While invoke setup.py certain eggs (like scikit-learn) launch
  cetain custom builds (for cython) using subprocess and sys.executable.

  This commit aims to preserve the sys.path over the runs, even if an
  egg is using subprocess with the same python to build a component of
  the egg.

   This commit is part of fixup the "Add setup-eggs option in zc.recipe.egg:develop."

This change fixes bug introduced in https://lab.nexedi.cn/nexedi/slapos.buildout/commit/aba00feb5cc694be6da433d936e29c94f9ae0416 for develop.

As _install_setup_eggs is part of Base class, some code
from Custom.__init__ had to be moved to Base.__init__ as those were
required by _install_setup_eggs implementation as self.link, options['_e'],
self.newest and so on.

Without this change zc.recipe.egg:develop fail to process.

Also, updating a part does not put it anymore at the end of the list of
installed parts, that was making .installed.cfg too big.

Useful when recipes generate non-string values to be reused by other
recipes.

Add referred parts' hash strings in __buildout_signature__, that invokes rebuild of a part when one of its (recursive) dependencies are modified.

Also remove duplicates and sort entries in __buildout_signature__.

In SlapOS, bootstrap is called each time software release is invoked and
we do not want to delete develop-eggs directory.

This reverts commit 55d76b34.

--setuptools-version and --buildout-version options in bootstrap script still have the priority.
