[PULL,1/1] configure: Require Python >= 3.5

Commit Message

Eduardo Habkost Oct. 25, 2019, 8:34 p.m. UTC

Python 3.5 is the oldest Python version available on our
supported build platforms, and Python 2 end of life will be 3
weeks after the planned release date of QEMU 4.2.0.  Drop Python
2 support from configure completely, and require Python 3.5 or
newer.
