#42747: "port python --select" should offer "python3" and "python2" options

Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1
Keywords: | Port: python_select
-------------------------+--------------------------------
As documented in Python PEP 394
(http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/), it is problematic and not
currently recommended to use "python" as a synonym for a Python 3 version.
Recommended upstream practice is to offer "python3' as a synonym for the
current preferred Python 3 version, "python2" for the current preferred
Python 2 version, and, during the long transition period from Python 2 to
Python 3, recommend "python" be the same as "python2" but eventually
moving to "python3". In support of this, "port select --python" should
support "python3" and "python2" groups.
