The point of this issue is to:
  * Allow people compiling Geany to specify the Python binary.
  * Use the proper default binary on Windows by default.

I don't think it's meant to necessarily change the existing behaviour on 
non-Windows, just to allow more flexibility, given that some distros (like Mint 
20 apparently) are not providing `python` binary/link, so they no longer have 
to patch Geany's build system, they can just update the package build options 
to specify `--with-python=python3`.

That said, one could open a new Issue/PR to change from `python` to `python3` 
in the `filetypes.python` file and `main.py` templates and such.
