[ptxdist] [PATCH v2] python: move to staging

[Roland Hieber <rhi@pengutronix.de>]

Use of Python 2 has been widely discouraged for some years [citation
needed], and remaining users should start migrating to Python 3 [1].
Move Python 2 to staging to reflect that.

v2:
 - adapt removal date after final python v2.7.18 release
 - only move the python package for now. all reverse dependencies will
   depend on STAGING for now; we can find out later whether they build
   with python3 too.
