Documentation: Reword which version of SWIG to use for Python bindings

* subversion/bindings/swig/INSTALL 
  (BUILDING SWIG BINDINGS FOR SVN ON UNIX Step 1): Try to make more clear
   which version of SWIG to use for generating Python bindings. Also transpose
   the Python 2 and Python 3 bulletpoints, as Python 2 support is being phased
   out.

       following notes:
       - SWIG 1.3.24 and later 1.3.x may work, but we do not test these
         versions on our latest source code.
-      - For Python 2 bindings, SWIG 4.0.0 or later is not supported.
-      - For Python 3 bindings, SWIG 3.0.10 or later is required.
+      - For Python 3 bindings, use SWIG 3.0.10 or later. (SWIG 4.0.0
+        or later is supported as well.)
+      - For Python 2 bindings, use SWIG 2.x-3.x. (SWIG 4.0.0 or later
+        is not supported as it lacks the '-classic' option.)
       - Note that SWIG 3.0.9 has some trouble with Python support.
         (See https://sourceforge.net/p/swig/news/2016/06/swig-3010-released/)
       - For Perl 5.16 and later, SWIG 2.0.8 or later is required.
