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`.
