[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Allow to select the Python command, and use `py` on Windows (#2223)

[Colomban Wendling]

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.
