It helps to avoid an error on distros which has only python3 binary:
./autogen.sh: line 20: python: command not found
Use python3 as the default as python2 is EOL since Jan 2020. However,
check also for python which is on most distros, if not all, python2
because code still works on python2.
Although it should not be needed keep the possibility to define PYTHON
variable.
For detection use "command -v" which is POSIX and supported on all
common shells (bash, zsh, dash, busybox sh, mksh) instead requiring
"which" as an extra dependency (usable on containers).
Update the INSTALL file too.

./bootstrap.conf: line 84: patch: command not found
Mention it also in the INSTALL file.

AC_HEADER_MAJOR in configure.ac should be removed.
