[New-bugs-announce] [issue21242] Generalize configure check for working Python executable

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon:

configure.ac has a check that sets ASDLGEN based on what Python interpreter to use for running various scripts which generate files related to the AST. It probably should be generalized so that there's only one check for any script usage in Makefile.pre.in since there is really no need to check multiple times for the same thing.
