build: better support for python3 systems

Improve support for systems where `python` is actually `python3`.

Not all systems have a `python2` binary, so simply updating the shebang
won't work.

What we can do is apply some cleverness: start life as a shell script,
locate the python binary, then re-execute the script but this time as
python code.

Special care is taken to ensure that spaces in arguments are passed on
verbatim.
