Previously, --without-python would cause ./configure to fail. Now it is
able to proceed, and the Python scripts will not be built.
Use portable parameter expansion matching instead of nonstandard
substring matching to detect the Python version. This test is
duplicated in several places, so define a function for it.
Don't assume the full path to binaries, since different platforms do
install things in different places. Use AC_CHECK_PROGS instead.
When building without Python, also build without pyzfs.

Closes#8809Closes#8731
Almost all of the Python code in the respository has been updated
to be compatibile with Python 2.6, Python 3.4, or newer. The only
exceptions are arc_summery3.py which requires Python 3, and pyzfs
which requires at least Python 2.7. This allows us to maintain a
single version of the code and support most default versions of
python. This change does the following:
* Sets the default shebang for all Python scripts to python3. If
only Python 2 is available, then at install time scripts which
are compatible with Python 2 will have their shebangs replaced
with /usr/bin/python. This is done for compatibility until
Python 2 goes end of life. Since only the installed versions
are changed this means Python 3 must be installed on the system
for test-runner when testing in-tree.
* Added --with-python=<2|3|3.4,etc> configure option which sets
the PYTHON environment variable to target a specific python
version. By default the newest installed version of Python
will be used or the preferred distribution version when
creating pacakges.
* Fixed --enable-pyzfs configure checks so they are run when
--enable-pyzfs=check and --enable-pyzfs=yes.
* Enabled pyzfs for Python 3.4 and newer, which is now supported.
* Renamed pyzfs package to python<VERSION>-pyzfs and updated to
install in the appropriate site location. For example, when
building with --with-python=3.4 a python34-pyzfs will be
created which installs in /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/.
* Renamed the following python scripts according to the Fedora
guidance for packaging utilities in /bin
- dbufstat.py -> dbufstat
- arcstat.py -> arcstat
- arc_summary.py -> arc_summary
- arc_summary3.py -> arc_summary3
* Updated python-cffi package name. On CentOS 6, CentOS 7, and
Amazon Linux it's called python-cffi, not python2-cffi. For
Python3 it's called python3-cffi or python3x-cffi.
* Install one version of arc_summary. Depending on the version
of Python available install either arc_summary2 or arc_summary3
as arc_summary. The user output is only slightly different.
