Add --enable-relocatable, an experimental configure flag that is disabled by default. The flag records the setting but does not yet make builds relocatable. The documentation warns that the feature is under active development and should not be used in production.

Related to python/cpython#119696.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!
