tox.ini: Add tests for python2

[mkoeppe]

These tests can be run by adding -python2 to the tox environment,
such as

    tox -e local-homebrew-macos-standard-python2
    tox -e docker-ubuntu-bionic-standard-python2

Additionally, now local environments (introduced in #29104 for homebrew) respect the environment variable EXTRA_CONFIGURE_ARGS that was already available for docker environments.

On debian-jessie-standard-python2 (https://github.com/mkoeppe/sage/runs/525632981):

  [pynac-0.7.26]   checking for a version of Python >= '2.1.0'... sys:1: RuntimeWarning: not adding directory '' to sys.path since it's not owned by a trusted user.
  [pynac-0.7.26]   Untrusted users could put files in this directory which might then be imported by your Python code. As a general precaution from similar exploits, you should not execute Python code from this directory
  [pynac-0.7.26]   yes
  [pynac-0.7.26]   checking for the distutils Python package... no
  [pynac-0.7.26]   configure: error: cannot import Python module "distutils".

Same on debian-buster-standard-python2

[mkoeppe]

comment:7

And on debian-bullseye-standard-python2 both pynac and pip fail

[mkoeppe]

comment:8

The pynac error is caused by the warning sys:1: RuntimeWarning: not adding directory '' to sys.path since it's not owned by a trusted user.,
which is considered an error by pynac's configure.

This might be output because we run as root?

[mkoeppe]

comment:10

caused by build/pkgs/python2/patches/sys_path_security-issue_16202.patch, of course.

[mkoeppe]

comment:11

Not a good idea that we output that warning even in noninteractive invocations of PYTHON (python -c)

[jhpalmieri]

comment:12

Maybe it's finally time to get rid of that patch.

I agree - I have created #29394 for this.

[mkoeppe]

Changed dependencies from #29104 to #29104, #29394
