makefile: use Python 3 by default (BC) This change is long overdue IMO. .. bc:: Makefile now uses `python3` instead of `python` by default on non-Windows platforms. This means Mercurial will be built and run with Python 3 instead of Python 2.7 by default. To continue using Python 2, set the PYTHON variable. e.g. `make install PYTHON=python2.7`.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
