gnu: python: Move idle to a separate output.

idle is a programming environment that is not useful for building
packages, but it is still useful for end users. This saves 5MB in the
default output.

* gnu/packages/python.scm (python-2.7)[outputs]: Add `idle'.
[arguments]: Move idle files in the new output.
(wrap-python): Do not wrap idle since it is in a different output.
