qemu needs python 2 *or* python 3, so we can do something like this:

QEMU_DEPENDENCIES = host-pkgconf libglib2 zlib pixman $(if $(BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON3),host-python3,host-python)

This way, if you have Python 3.x enabled for the target (and therefore
you are already building host-python3), it will use host-python3.

Could you test this in a configuration that has BR2_PACKAGE_QEMU=y and
BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON3=y, and check it works properly ?

Thanks!

Thomas
