Revert "Expect the python binary on path to be a symlink "

This reverts commit 1cd2096284959ead26687d1d58b695d2abffb8e2.
That commit tried to find a more suitable python binary by
following symlinks. That, however, is not necessary, as
our follow-up infrastructure can call symbolic links and
our tests os.path.isfile(path) and os.access(path, os.X_OK)
follow symbolic links as well.

Fixes #2836.

Bazel (Beta)

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:

  • A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.

  • An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.

  • Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
