James Clark 630af16eee perf tools: Use Python devtools for version autodetection rather than runtime
This fixes the issue where the build will fail if only the Python2
runtime is installed but the Python3 devtools are installed. Currently
the workaround is 'make PYTHON=python3'.

Fix it by autodetecting Python based on whether python[x]-config exists
rather than just python[x] because both are needed for the build. Then
-config is stripped to find the Python runtime.

Testing
=======

 * Auto detect links with Python3 when the v3 devtools are installed
   and only Python 2 runtime is installed
 * Auto detect links with Python2 when both devtools are installed
 * Sensible warning is printed if no Python devtools are installed
 * 'make PYTHON=x' still automatically sets PYTHON_CONFIG=x-config
 * 'make PYTHON=x' fails if x-config doesn't exist
 * 'make PYTHON=python3' overrides Python2 devtools
 * 'make PYTHON=python2' overrides Python3 devtools
 * 'make PYTHON_CONFIG=x-config' works
 * 'make PYTHON=x PYTHON_CONFIG=x' works
 * 'make PYTHON=missing' reports an error
 * 'make PYTHON_CONFIG=missing' reports an error

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
