This improves the performance of these operations, by saving a ~50ms
Python process startup. While not a major performance improvement, it
seems worth it, given how often these commands get run.
Fixes#9571.
This causes `upgrade-zulip-from-git`, as well as a no-option run of
`tools/build-release-tarball`, to produce a Zulip install running
Python 3, rather than Python 2. In particular this means that the
virtualenv we create, in which all application code runs, is Python 3.
One shebang line, on `zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces`, explicitly
keeps Python 2, and at least one external ops script, `wal-e`, also
still runs on Python 2. See discussion on the respective previous
commits that made those explicit. There may also be some other
third-party scripts we use, outside of this source tree and running
outside our virtualenv, that still run on Python 2.
Apparently, puppet has messed up exit codes and doesn't by default
return the usual 0=success, nonzero=failure codes. By default, it
seems to always return 0; and with `--detailed-exitcodes`, it returns
the complicated thing documented in the comments.
We fix this by checking the exit code and translating it to what we
actually care about, namely whether errors occurred.
See https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-2754 for details.
Fixes#1094.

The 'zulip' module contains the general setup for any server that
will run our app. The 'zulip-internal' module contains configuration
that is internal to Zulip the company.
