The first commit can be generally useful if e.g. Python is not generally found in the PATH, for selecting python3 by default, or if the environment doesn't provide a generic python link but only versioned ones (like python2 and python3).

The second one implements the suggestion from #2211 on top of this. I have no idea if that suggestion makes sense as I don't use Windows and don't have enough Python-on-Windows knowledge. @eht16 what do you think?

@novel-yet-trivial could you test this if you can build Geany? I didn't actually test it on Winodws so it properly working is only theoretical, although I'm quite confident.
