Upcoming breaking change: Python 3 will be the default version used in License Compliance

With GitLab 12.2's release on August 22, Python 3 will become the default version for the Secure stage License Compliance feature, with GitLab.com users experiencing this change at the start of August. Users still relying on Python 2 will need to set the CI variable LM_PYTHON_VERSION to "2" on both GitLab self-managed and GitLab.com platforms to maintain compatibility. The shift in default Python versions aligns with the deprecation of Python 2 due to its official support ending on January 1, 2020. Users already utilizing Python 3 can configure License Compliance to accommodate this version by setting the CI variable LM_PYTHON_VERSION to "3" immediately. License Compliance, previously known as License Management, is being renamed to reflect common industry terminology, and its function is to monitor the licenses of third-party components within projects, ensuring they align with organizational licensing models.
