Python 2.7 will not be maintained past 2020.
Many scripts on the tree are used during the build and should keep
Python 2 compatibility for a while.
This is not the case for the runtime test infra. It's meant to be run in
modern distros only, so it can safely switch to support Python 3 only.
An advantage of this approach is to have less scenarios to test in.
Otherwise every change to the test infra or runtime tests would need to
be tested against both versions of the interpreter, increasing the
effort of the developers, to ensure the compatibility to Python 2 was
not broken.
In order to accomplish the change to Python 3:
- change the shebang for run-tests;
- use Python 3 urllib as a drop-in replacement for Python 2 urllib2;
- when writing the downloaded binary files, explicitly open the output
file as binary;
- when subprocess is used to retrieve the text output from commands,
explicitly ask for text output. For this, use 'universal_newlines'
because 'text' was added only on Python 3.7;
- when pexpect is used to retrieve the text output from qemu or git,
explicitly ask for text output using 'encoding';
- the code using csv currently follows the example in the documentation
for the Python 2 module, change it to follow the example in the
documentation for the Python 3 module;
- fix the relative import for test_git.py to be Python 3 compliant.

Check external.mk is ignored only when in the root path of a
br2-external.
Add a file called external.mk as a fixture to be used by the test case.

Check the basic usage for check-package.
It can be called using either absolute path, relative path or from PATH.
Files to be checked can be passed with either absolute path or relative
path (also including files in the current directory).
Also check it ignores some special files when checking intree files,
i.e. package/pkg-generic.mk, while still generating warnings for out-of-tree
files when called with -b.
In order to allow the later, add an empty line to the Config.in in the
br2-external being tested so the script does generate a warning.
Catches bug #11271.
More tests can be added later, for example compatibility to Python 3.
