Remove reliance on python2 #281

Python2 has been EOL for over 2 years. Node2nix should migrate to python3 if it needs a python interpreter.

@mweinelt node2nix should only indirectly use python via nodejs.python. I know that newer versions of Node.js no longer rely on python2 but older versions still do. If an older version is used, then python2 is used.

The reason why python is used is because gyp, the build system for V8 and some module with native dependencies rely on it.

I think this issue can be closed. node2nix doesn't rely on python2. it's upstream nodejs and packages that depend on gyp that depend on it.
