There is no need to install multiple versions on the same host. The build
target is always the distributions default Python 3 version.

Users of the ioc CLI tool do not care what language it is written in - they
want to install it and use it to manage their jails. I don't find it necessary
to require users knowing their target Python version, if we could instead
depend on the same environment that we cover with our automated tests.

The language this is written in does not have an effect on the use of this CLI
tool. If a tool written in RUST imports libioc and provides the same
interfaces, there would be no noticeable difference for the user. Therefore I
prefer to call it just ioc.
