Move /usr/bin/python into a separate package

Summary

Reflecting the recent changes of PEP 394 -- The "python" Command on Unix-Like Systems, we are moving /usr/bin/python from the Package-x-generic-16.pngpython2 package into a separate package called Package-x-generic-16.pngpython-unversioned-command. Package-x-generic-16.pngpython2 will recommend this package.

This means Fedora users will get it automatically with Package-x-generic-16.pngpython2, but they might opt-out and remove it. In Fedora's build system, only packages explicitly buildrequiring /usr/bin/python will get it.

This change obsoletes "Avoid /usr/bin/python in RPM build" change.
