distutils: Create MANIFEST.in instead of MANIFEST in Makefile
When running 'python setup.py sdist' many files were omitted from the resulting tarball that are required for a complete build, including the .h file for the inotify extension due to a python2.7+ distutils bug. This would cause 'make dist' to fail to build a correct dist on python2.7 By building a MANIFEST.in that is the same as the old MANIFEST with 'include' at the start of each line will cause a correct MANIFEST to be built and used by distutils.
