Ryan Moeller 4f342e45be Canonicalize Python shebangs
/usr/bin/env python3 is the suggested[1] shebang for Python in general
(likewise for python2) and is conventional across platforms. This eases
development on systems where python is not installed in /usr/bin
(FreeBSD for example) and makes it possible to develop in virtual
environments (venv) for isolating dependencies.

Many packaging guidelines discourage the use of /usr/bin/env, but since
this is the canonical way of writing shebangs in the Python community,
many packaging scripts are already equipped to handle substituting the
appropriate absolute path to python automatically.

Some RPM package builders lacking brp-mangle-shebangs need a small
fallback mechanism in the package spec to stamp the appropriate shebang
on installed Python scripts.

# The arcstat script is compatible with both Python 2.6 and 3.4.
# As such the python 3 shebang can be replaced at install time when
# targeting a python 2 system. This allows us to maintain a single
# version of the source.
