Bug Description
Description
===========
On "stable/train" at "bindep.txt", line "python-devel [platform:rpm test]" should be "python3-devel [platform:rpm test]", otherwise during CI automation tools will fail while trying to install the package on RHEL 8. Versions after train have performed this change, so I expect this is not the first time the problem has happened.
Steps to reproduce
==================
1.- On stock RHEL 8.4, run: dnf install python-devel
2.- RHEL will complain that the package is unknown.
Expected result
===============
RHEL is capable of installing the "python36-devel" package and its dependencies through the "python3-devel" alias.
Actual result
=============
RHEL does not find the "python-devel" package.
Environment
===========
RHEL 8.4
Python 3.6

[stable-only] Add binary test dependency "python3-devel" for py3 based RPM distros.
Coming from RHEL 8, dependency "python-devel [platform:rpm test]"
indicated on "bindep.txt" cannot be satisfied by the distribution.
RHEL 8 expects the package name to be "python3-devel" instead. For such
reason, this change adds a conditional that will select the proper
package name depending on whether the distro is based on python 2 or 3.
Other RPM distributions like CentOS should also benefit from this
change.
Conditionals for the python version are inverted ("!"), that is because
trying to filter them positively resulted in both conditions triggering
at the same time. This way works for RHEL 8, although it would still
need testing on something RHEL 7 based.
