RHEL7 ships Python 3.6 packages using the python3 prefix.  Currently
EPEL7 contains Python 3.6 packages using both the python3 and python36
prefixes.  Thanks to the foresight and preparation work of the Red Hat
Python Maintenance team, these work interchangeably when using the
%python_provide macro.  However the situation is still confusing for
packagers and users.  We never formalized guidelines on which prefix
to use.  I would like to change that.  I propose that we standardize
on the python3 prefix to match RHEL7 packages and document in EPEL
guidelines that maintainers SHOULD use the python3 prefix.

Do we need to be explicit about how we spell any value of these keys
- e.g. should it be
  Requires: python >= 38
or
  Requires: python >= 3.8
?
