After Python 2 is getting unsupported, new distros
like CentOS 8 and RHEL8 have stopped providing 'python'
package forcing user to decide which alternative to
use by installing 'python2' or 'python3.x' package
and then setting python alternative.
This change is intended to make using python3 command as
much as possible and use it as default 'python' alternative
where needed.
The final goals motivating this change are:
- stop using python2 as much as possible
- help adding support for CentOS 8 and RHEL8

As described in the documentation, this flag is intended for the case
where the console output is being captured by a tool that appends its
own timestamps.
In the gate this is the job-output.txt. We want the console output as
people like to watch that scrolling by as part of the live console
log. Although this gets saved to job-output.txt, we still want to
keep logging to the individual log files even though it's technically
a duplicate -- in the multinode case the job-output.txt gets
interleaved by all the running nodes; it's much easier to just look at
the individual log files. Also, people are used to it where it is :)

I started running this with dib where we have pure python3
environments and it failed.
You can't have unbuffered text i/o in python3 for ... reasons? [1]
Changing the file to binary mode works around this. Python3 opens
sys.stdin in text mode, so we need to manually convert the unicode
strings to bytes before we write them to the binary file.

The complexity of the awk script was pretty high, and it would
be good to do it in summaries as well, which starts to get a bit
squirelly. Instead bring over the outfilter.py from grenade and
use it for the timestamping.
Any additional overhead from python should be offset from not
shelling out to date on every line of output.
