build: try calling python-config with --embed

To get the flags required to link an application with Python 3.8 (such
as to embed Python in the application), it is necessary to use the
"--embed" flag of python-config.  These flags include "-lpython3.8".
Without "--embed", the printed flags are for building a Python
extension.  These don't require being linked with the Python library,
since they are dlopen'ed by the library itself.

Our Python plugin provider requires being linked with Python, since it
embeds a Python interpreter.  Since we don't use "--embed" currently
when getting link flags, we don't link with the Python library, and
therefore the provider is not usable with Python 3.8.

The solution proposed here:

  https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.8.html#debug-build-uses-the-same-abi-as-release-build

is to try calling python-config with --embed first, and then without if
that didn't work.  With this patch, I am able to use the Python plugin
provider with Python 3.8.
