[Python.NET] Retiring Python 2.7

[David Lassonde]

In our field (film/tv/games), pipelines are only using Python 2.7. Our
customers, partners and us try to follow the vfx reference platform
<https://vfxplatform.com/>. The table says that studios and vendors have
until the end of CY 2020 to drop Python 2.7.

It is too soon to tell if this will really happen that fast, because the
transition will be hard, it will take time and money. Pixels will not look
better after the investment.

All that to say that for us, as long as there is a "last Python for .NET"
GitHub release/tag, we will be fine. We can always fork the repo and fix
bugs on our own, or merge to a special branch that you could keep open in
the repo.
