chutney fails to find python2 on stock OS X install

OS X Yosemite's /usr/bin/python is python 2.7.10, but OS X doesn't provide a python2 symlink (which chutney expects).

This causes chutney to fail out of the box on OS X.

(It will fail on any platform without a python2 command, even if python exists.)

Branch: fallback-to-python Repository: https://github.com/teor2345/chutney.git Changes:

• If $PYTHON isn't set:
  • Use "command" to check for python2, and use it if it exists
  • Use "command" to check for python, and use it if it exists
  • (Skip python3, it doesn't work due to #16904 (moved))
• If neither works, use the original default of python2
