 testsuite: Use python3 by default

 Summary:
 It turns out that Phyx's fix for #12554 (D2684) still fails with mingw-w64
 python 2.7. However, Python 3 (both msys2 and mingw-w64) work fine. Given
 that
 supporting Python 2 has already become rather tiresome (as @thomie warned
 it
 would), let's just move to python3 by default.

 Test Plan: Validate
