It came up in discussion how python3.8 doesn't have the m suffix like previous
python 3.x versions and how python.port.mk will need adjusting.
So here is a patch to do that.
(The m denotes being compiled with pymalloc, which would change the ABI.
It is still compiled with pymalloc by default, but it no longer changes
the ABI).
