build-sys: Use python3 for libdnf by default if available

Probably at some point libdnf will drop py2 support, but the
main reason I'm doing this is avoids a python2 dependency
for rpm-ostree for distributions that don't want that.

Note of course rpm-ostree itself doesn't use python, libdnf does.
And only for the python bindings, which we don't use either.  So
this is mostly just to DTRT automatically for the libdnf bits; down
the line we could probably add a patch to make the python fully
conditional.

Closes: #1460
