Subject: [PATCH 4/6] py-compile: drop support for Python 0.x & 1.x

From: Mike Frysinger <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2022 01:57:12 -0500

Python 2.0 was released in 2000.  There's really no way for us to check
those old versions, so let's just drop them.  No one will miss them.

* lib/py-compile: Abort if major version 0 or 1 is found.
* t/py-compile-env.sh: Rework slightly to handle new version probing.
