Let's not solve it in the eclass, let's solve it in the implementation ebuilds.

I.e. cpython, pypy, jython gets all the same flags. If an
implementation unconditionally includes something that's not selected
(i.e. the system has -threads for PyPy), it gets ignored. If a flag is
required that the implementation doesn't support, the ebuild dies at
some early stage (somewhat similar to check-reqs like things).

I think you're massively overthinking this stuff.
