Justin Wood 605aa0fa02 Bug 1473498 - More support for py3. r=firefox-build-system-reviewers,mshal
This patch makes BuildEnvironmentNotFoundException a subclass of AttributeError as well, because hasattr in
python3 no longer catches all tracebacks but only AttributeError, and we use both hasattr and
BuildEnvironmentNotFoundException to guard against a handful of buildconfig variables in a few places
where it is OK to not have a buildenvironment.

We also use universal_newlines in real_host in init.configure (since I found
that fix while working on the AttributeError one) so that we get the right string type back from the process call

Lastly this patch also uses BytesIO for calling into a ReducedConfigureSandbox as its stdout and stderr pipes,
This ensures that related code handling the sandbox doesn't complain about getbuffer() missing in StringIO in py3.

This directory contains common Python code.

The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the
Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, it should
go here.

What should not go here:

* Vendored python modules (use third_party/python instead)
* Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/)
* Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla)
  module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
