Ensure AmberTools will find the correct python library and include dir

[Crivella]

Addresses failure of building AmberTools on EESSI

• {2023.06}[2023a] acpype v2023.10.27 EESSI/software-layer#1332

AmberTools uses find_package(PythonLibs) which has been deprecated (require different hints than the one we currently set for python in CMake).

With this changes we provide the dedicated hints for it to find the correct library and include directory.

Removed as this is now set by the CMake configure_step
