without python3, autogen.sh will fail
Good reminder about autogen.sh. Whatever gets decided as the minimum python version, autogen.sh check should be updated to require.

Ticket details:
The comment in common/generate_packets.py claims it's compatible with every Python version since 1.5, and says to keep it that way; in particular, not to replace string.join calls. The update to make the script Python-3-compatible did just that.
Clearly, the script is not 1.5-compatible anymore (nor does it need to). Given the use of a python3 executable, our minimum supported version is in the Python 3 range – we should figure out / decide what specific version we want that to be, and update the comment accordingly.
