Outputting Python files for already generated types may overwrite previously generated code in situations where flabuffer files are included, rendering them unusable. It can also lead to undesired extra files when including shared flatbuffer definitions from other namespaces.

CC @anton-bobukh, I'm not sure what the intention was for adding the empty Python files for generated types, but it causes a pretty major regression. See #8490 for more info.

This may overwrite types that have already been generated and can create
unwanted empty files. Fixes google#8490
