git-p4.py includes support for python3, but this was not previously validated in CI. Lets actually do that.

As of writing, python-3.5 has reached end-of-life, but has been updated recently enough that it's reasonable to attemp to support it. We do not have a pressing need for features only available in 3.6 and later.

Usage of python3 is limited to the linux-gcc pipeline on Azure. It is assumed that passing both python2 and python3 tests on one platform translates to doing the same on others.

Travis-CI is unchanged, as no tests are run in those environments.

There has been some desire to make this more generally applicable instead of being Azure Pipelines specific. There may be some significant work required to make that work for all platforms where t98** tests are being run.

I most likely won't have the bandwith to take on that task in the near future. If this patch is deemed insufficient, I would perfer it be dropped form the series rather than become a roadblock.
