muon-updater does not correctly invoke releasechecker in raring

[Harald Sitter]

[Impact]
muon-updater starts the releasechecker helper using python(2) rather than python3. This prevents upgrades to saucy from being offered when not having muon-notifier (which invokes it correctly) is not installed. Fixed by simply using python3 instead.

[Test Case]
* kdebugdialog => activate all
* muon-updater --nofork
* Notice debug output (python traceback when invoked with python2) and no upgrade offered

[Regression Potential]
None. This feature is completely broken right now.

Fixed in >raring since the code was refactored and is shared via libmuonprivate.
