      perf tools: Default to python version 2 · d6a947fb
      Thomas Ilsche authored
      According to PEP 394 recommendation [1], it's more portable to use
      python2 rather than plain python to refer python binary version 2.
      
      Since there're distros using python3 by default like Arch, and we don't
      support python3 (yet), it'd be better using python2 explicitly.
      
      But older versions (prior to 2.7) seem not to provide python2 but just
      python.  Given that it's only old version, try python2 first and then
      fallback to python.  It'll ensure that it always points to python 2.x.
      
      I tested (compiles and perf script runs) with the combinations:
      
      1) python  -> python2.x, python-config  -> python2.x-config
         python2 N/A,          python2-config N/A
      
      2) python  -> python3.x, python-config  -> python3.x-config
         python2 -> python2.x, python2-config -> python2.x-config
      
      3) python  -> python2.x, python-config  -> python2.x-config
         python2 -> python2.x, python2-config -> python2.x-config
      
      4) python  -> python2.x, python-config  -> python2.x-config
         python2 -> python2.x, python2-config N/A
      
      Based on / replaces the patch 2/2 by Namhyung Kim.
