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.
