package/python-iptables: account for platform tag in extensions

EXT_SUFFIX in Python versions > 3.5 contains a platform tag which only applies
to cpython extensions. Given that ctypes.util.find_library does not work on the
target due to the absence of the underlying tools '.so' needs to be added as a
possible suffix for libraries to enable python-iptables to find the iptables
shared libraries.

+Subject: [PATCH] Add '.so' as additional shared object suffix
+
+EXT_SUFFIX includes a platform information tag starting from Python 3.5 [0]
+For example:
+
+    >>> sysconfig.get_config_var("EXT_SUFFIX")
+    '.cpython-38-aarch64-linux-gnu.so'
+
+This suffix only applies to cpython extensions i.e. not to the iptables shared
+objects.
+
+Adding '.so' as an additional suffix for shared objects fixes the issue.
+
+Fixes: Issue #301
