Azure-cli: Support python3 executable when running az
The script files, 'az' and 'az.bat', that are installed through the pip install do not support machine configurations that only have python3.
An error is shown that python was not found as it has been named python 3.
The script files should potentially have a way to determine the correct python executable to use.

The only team that clamored for this was Datalake, and they were more than happy with the virtual environment solution. Given that we have packaged released that include Python3... @derekbekoe can we close this issue?

@derekbekoe this bug annoying specially when dealing with custom stuff like brew for OS X. What is the propose of that bash script wrapper for az?
I'm not a python expert, but if this was a python script (with shebang pointing to python), pip would update the script to use the right python version. For instance:
pip2 install azure-cli would use python2(...)
pip3 install azure-cli would use python3(...)
