pg python: check for files installed to ${python.prefix}, and fail build if any present

Description
Trying to install a smattering of Python ports - including those under the umbrella of py-pytest-xxx - fails due to port-specific files installed directly in ${python.prefix}.
For example, py-about-time is one example:
$ port provides /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/LICENSE /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/LICENSE is provided by: py310-about-time
Along with py-pytest-datadir (after first deactivating py310-about-time, to allow activation):
$ port provides /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/LICENSE /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/LICENSE is provided by: py310-pytest-datadir
Rather than placing the full onus on maintainers, though, we should check for this in pg python. And cause the install to fail, if any such files are found.

agreed that ports shouldn't install stuff in python.prefix; not sure though if checking for that has a place in the python PG or whether I should own this ticket.

No worries, I'll own the ticket then. Just wanted to get some discussion going on this.
In terms of the goal, it seems logical to check for this within the Python portgroup. Otherwise, where else would we include such validation checks...?

I don't think this is really worth checking for. The mtree checks in base already detect if you're installing files completely outside the usual places. Ideally maintainers notice if ports are installing things in slightly weird places and fix it, but if nobody notices, it's likely not a problem. When someone does notice, like you did with these two ports, you fix it.

Works for me, we can always revisit in the future if needed.
