* 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)

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.

62c2915 build: supply `-Wl,--high-entropy-va` (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
9a75d29 devtools: Check for high-entropy ASLR in 64-bit PE executables (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
- fix parsing of BIND_NOW with older readelf
- add _IO_stdin_used to ignored exports
For details see: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=634261#109
- add check-symbols and check-security make targets
These are not added to the default checks because some of them depend on
release-build configs.
- always link librt for glibc back-compat builds
glibc absorbed clock_gettime in 2.17. librt (its previous location) is safe to
link in anyway for back-compat.
Fixes#7420
- add security/symbol checks to gitian

Perform the following ELF security checks:
- PIE: Check for position independent executable (PIE), allowing for address space randomization
- NX: Check that no sections are writable and executable (including the stack)
- RELRO: Check for read-only relocations, binding at startup
- Canary: Check for use of stack canary
Also add a check to symbol-check.py that checks that only the subset of
allowed libraries is imported (to avoid incompatibilities).
