gnu: python: Update to 3.9.1 and streamline package definition.

* gnu/packages/python.scm (python-3.8): Rename to...
(python-3.9): ... this.  Update version to 3.9.1.
[arguments]{make-flags}: Restore test_socket test.
[phases]{unset-SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, reset-SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH}: Remove phases.
{rebuild-bytecode}: Simplify code.  Set the invalidation-mode argument of the
compileall module to "unchecked-hash", to ensure determinism.
(python-3): Adjust to refer to python-3.9.
* gnu/packages/patches/python-3-fix-tests.patch: Rebase and extend patch.
* gnu/packages/patches/python-3.8-fix-tests.patch: Delete file.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): De-register it.
