            Add python3-swig with Python package metadata

SWIG is also packaged on PyPI via https://github.com/nightlark/swig-pypi.
For example, the Python bindings in gpgme now use this:

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools", "swig"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

When %pyproject_buildrequires is run against such a package, a
BuildRequires on python3dist(swig) is generated.  This will fulfill such a
requirement, and allow the package to build without bypassing dynamic BRs.

The PyPI project also includes a swig "module", but that only serves as a
script entrypoint which wraps the bundled version.  We don't need that
here as we already have a real /usr/bin/swig, and "import swig" is not a
documented use case for the "module".
