Add script to check for minimum python version and install if missing on Tiger
​https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38886

Per Maciej's request on webkit-dev:
​https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2010-May/012785.html
provide a script which can automatically install Python on Tiger where
the system provided version is too old to be of use.

Note this uses the official Mac Python installer from python.org.
This installs a copy of Python in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework.
It also makes symlinks from /usr/local/bin to the Python.framework/bin.

I have tested this script on Leopard and it worked fine. I have not
tested it on Tiger as I do not have access to a Tiger machine. In
either case this should provide a great starting point for someone
wishing to upgrade their copy of Python on Tiger.

Future patches can make our scripts depend on a success return from this
script and then they can either skip tests/sections for which python is
insufficient, or they can fail themselves.
