repo: try to reexec self with Python 3 as needed

We want to start warning about Python 2 usage, but we can't do it
simply because the shebang is /usr/bin/python which might be an old
version like python2.7.

We can't change the shebang because program name usage is spotty at
best: on some platforms (like macOS), it's not uncommon to not have
a `python3` wrapper, only a major.minor one like `python3.6`.  Using
python3 wouldn't guarantee a new enough version of Python 3 anyways,
and we don't want to require Python 3.6 exactly, just that minimum.

So we check the current Python version.  If it's older than the ver
of Python 3 we want, we search for a `python3.X` version to run.  If
those don't work, we see if `python3` exists and is a new enough ver.
If it's not, we die if the current Python 3 is too old, and we start
issuing warnings if the current Python version is 2.7.  This should
allow the user to take a bit more action by installing Python 3 on
their system without having to worry about changing /usr/bin/python.

Once we require Python 3 completely, we can simplify this logic a bit
by always bootstrapping up to Python 3 and failing with Python 2.

We have a few KI with Windows atm though, so keep it disabled there
until the fixes are merged.

repo

Repo is a tool built on top of Git. Repo helps manage many Git repositories, does the uploads to revision control systems, and automates parts of the development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git. The repo command is an executable Python script that you can put anywhere in your path.

Install

Many distros include repo, so you might be able to install from there.

# Debian/Ubuntu.
$ sudo apt-get install repo

# Gentoo.
$ sudo emerge dev-vcs/repo

You can install it manually as well as it's a single script.

$ mkdir -p ~/.bin
$ PATH="${HOME}/.bin:${PATH}"
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/.bin/repo
$ chmod a+rx ~/.bin/repo
