configure: enforce python 2.7 with AM_PATH_PYTHON
Currently we use AC_CHECK_PROGS looking for python2.7, python2 and finally python. That is due to the varying names used across the different OS. Use the handy AM_PATH_PYTHON which finds the correct name and checks for the version. Note: python2.7 has been an unofficial requirement for quite some time. Update the docs to reflect that.
