Hi folks,

It is my great pleasure to announce that most-if-not-all Python scripts from llvm,
clang and test-suite have been updated to work (hopefully) the same way
on Python2 and Python3.

As a consequence, all shebangs now points to python, and not python2 or
python3, and the documentation should now refer to python, whith no
specified version.

So what's next? Maybe some buildbot could be updated to specifically
build with a given Python version, if it's not already the case.

I'll also added an herald rule to review commited python scripts, to
ensure the compatible property remains true over time.

Oh, and I *really* would like to thanks Michael Platings for the tremendous
reviewing job he's been doing on this patch set o/
