giscanner: Use Distutils to Build Dumper Program

Add compile() and link() functions in ccompiler.py to call
distutils.ccompiler's compiler() and link() functions, so that we
can in turn call them from dumper.py as needed.  Note that for
linking the dumper program when building with libtool, we are still
using the original method of constructing the link command line
and running that command line, as distutils and libtool do not get
along well with each other.  For non-libtool builds, such as MSVC
builds, we would link the dumper program using distutils.

For MSVC builds, we need to ignore mt.exe failing to find a
.exe.manifest file as Visual Studio 2010+ do not generate such files
during linking, and it is done by distutils as Python 2.7.x is built
with Visual Studio 2008, which do generate such manifest files during
the build.
