I'm currently backporting moving from trusty to bionic for gitian builds. It requires backporting another change in a python file, which was migrated to python 3 in the meantime. I decided to backport this PR first instead of fixing merge conflicts in the gitian stuff manually.

Following discussion here: bitcoin#11843 (comment)
It's easier for maintainers if all python tools/scripts support only a single version of Python. There are only a few scripts that aren't explicitly python3 at this point, so this PR changes those remaining scripts to explicitly require python3.
