python3 is required for running the unit tests on macOS, Ubuntu and Fedora.
Without python3 installed, 'make check' fails because /test/util/bitcoin-util-test.py fails to find python3.
Now that 0.15 branch has been split off, master is 0.15.99 (pre-0.16).
Also clean out release notes.

This makes the following changes:
* In undo data and the chainstate database, the transaction nVersion
field is removed from the data structures, always written as 0, and
ignored when reading.
* The definition of hash_serialized in gettxoutsetinfo is changed to no
longer incude the nVersion field. It is renamed to hash_serialized_2
to avoid confusion. The new definition also includes transaction
height and coinbase information, as this information was missing
before.
This depends on having a CHashVerifier-based undo data checksum
verifier.
Apart from changing the definition of serialized_hash, downgrading
after using this patch is supported, as no release ever used the value
of nVersion field in UTXO entries.
