Require Python 2.7.

This is in preparation for the eventual move to Python 3, which will
happen as soon as all Python modules required by Mandos are available.
The mandos-ctl and mandos-monitor programs are already portable
between Python 2.6 and Python 3 without changes; this change will
bring the requirement up to Python 2.7.

* INSTALL (Prerequisites/Libraries/Mandos Server): Document
                                                   requirement of
                                                   Python 2.7; remove
                                                   Python-argparse
                                                   which is in the
                                                   Python 2.7 standard
                                                   library.
* debian/control (Source: mandos/Build-Depends-Indep): Depend on
                                                       exactly the
                                                       python2.7
                                                       package and all
                                                       the Python 2.7
                                                       versions of the
                                                       python modules.
  (Package: mandos/Depends): - '' - but still depend on python (<=2.7)
                            and the generic versions of the Python
                            modules; this is for mandos-ctl and
                            mandos-monitor, both of which are
                            compatible with Python 3, and use
                            #!/usr/bin/python.
* mandos: Use #!/usr/bin/python2.7 instead of #!/usr/bin/python.

_Description: New client option "${key_id}" is REQUIRED on server
4
 
 A new "key_id" client option is REQUIRED in the server's clients.conf
5
 
 file, otherwise this computer most likely will not reboot unattended. 
6
 
 This option:
7
 
 .
8
 
  ${key_id}
9
 
 .
10
 
 must be added (all on one line!) on the Mandos server host, in the file
11
 
 /etc/mandos/clients.conf, right before the "fingerprint" option for this
12
 
 Mandos client.  You must edit that file on that server and add this
13
 
 option.
14
 
 .
15
 
 With GnuTLS 3.6.6, Mandos has been forced to stop using OpenPGP keys as
16
 
 TLS session keys.  A new TLS key pair has been generated and will be used
17
 
 as identification, but the key ID of the public key needs to be added to
18
 
 the server, since this will now be used to identify the client to the
19
 
 server.
