[Action Required] Install Python >= 3.6 to continue using the support scripts

Hi all,

Previously announced for July 1st, the update of the support scripts to
Python 3 is now in its final phase. This requires you to install Python >=
3.6 on your dev machine and have it available using *python3 *in order to
continue using the Mesos support scripts easily.

To make sure that you are ready, run:
$ python --version
$ python3 --version

   - If the first command returns a version of Python >= 2.6 and the second
   command returns a version of Python >= 3.6, your setup should work with
   master and on previous branches as well.
   - If python3 does not exist or is Python < 3.6, update it to Python >=
   3.6. If you do not know how to do it, please ping the #python3 Mesos Slack
   channel.
   - If both commands return Python >= 3.6, welcome to the future. You are
   then unable to build the Python bindings but building Mesos with
--disable-python
   and using the new support scripts work.

This change does not impact our build requirements, Python 2 is still used
to create the Python bindings and it is the only Python component built by
default.

As a reminder, updating our support scripts to Python 3 is done to fix
bugs, go along the upgrade of the Mesos CLI / Python package to Python 3,
and be ready for Python 2 retirement <https://pythonclock.org/>.

If you have any questions, please answer to this email or write a message
in the #python3 Mesos Slack channel.

Thanks,
Armand Grillet

This patch is landing TODAY. The Python 2 support scripts will no longer 
be available in... an hour or so.

Thanks all for testing,

Andy
