Assume that you specify DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= python=3.6 

The PORTVERSION of this metaport goes to 3.6, but it's still installing python2
as /usr/local/bin/python. This seems nonsensical, and possibly misleading,
since I would expect that to mean the /usr/local/bin/python it installs is 3.6.

Use PYTHON_PORTVERSION instead, which lines up with all of the uses of
PYTHON_MAJOR_VER. Eventually it would be nice to switch all of this over to
reflecting the default python version so that python3 can be installed as
/usr/local/bin/python, but I'd guess we would need to do an audit of all of the
python2 ports and make sure they're not doing "/usr/bin/env python" and
expecting python 2.
