dev-python/pypy: Split translation and compile phases

Use the --source option to disable automatic compiling of generating C
sources, and build them manually afterwards. Most importantly, this
significantly reduces memory use because pypy failed to free memory that
was used for the translation, and that is no longer needed when
the compilation is started. Furthermore, it makes resuming compilation
possible.
