Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf: Be compatible with all python versions when fetching ldflags

From: He Zhe <zhe.he@...driver.com>

Since Python v3.8.0, with the following commit
0a8e57248b91 ("bpo-36721: Add --embed option to python-config (GH-13500)"),
--embed option must be passed to "python3-config --ldflags --embed" or
"python3-config --libs --embed" to get "-lpython3.8".

To make it compatible with all Python versons, according to the suggestion
in the commit log, we try with --embed first and then witout it if fails.
