    python: make python2 and python3 alternatives to python
    
    If only python3 is installed on an image nothing provides
    /usr/bin/python even though many scripts compatible with
    both python2 and python3 just state `#!/usr/bin/env python`
    in their shebang line.
    
    Make python and python3 recipes provide alternatives for
    /usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python-config. By default
    python2 has higher priority over python3.
