Backport Bitcoin #11881: Remove Python2 support (#2224)

* Merge #11881: Remove Python2 support 1874058 Make base58 python contrib code work with python3 (Evan Klitzke) bc6fdf2 Change all python files to use Python3 (John Newbery) Pull request description: Following discussion here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11843#issuecomment-351033742 It's easier for maintainers if all python tools/scripts support only a single version of Python. There are only a few scripts that aren't explicitly python3 at this point, so this PR changes those remaining scripts to explicitly require python3.
