py2.7 used by default when py2 and py3 are both available

I just noticed that when I ran «make check» on trunk, it was run using
python 2.7. I hadn't pass any Python-related flags to autogen.sh/configure.

I presume py2.7 was used because build/find_python.sh used whatever the
"python" executable in my $PATH is.

Looking at find_python.sh, that's exactly what it does. Shouldn't we
change it to use Python 3 in preference to Python 2, given that we've
documented py2 as no longer supported?

Cheers,

Daniel
