configure: Use -B switch only for Python versions which support it

Commit 1d984a6 added the -B switch
unconditionally. This breaks Python versions before 2.6 which don't
support that switch.

Now configure adds -B only if it is accepted by the Python interpreter.

This modification introduces a small incompatibility because -B might now
also be added when configure was called with --python=PYTHON_INTERPRETER.
