[issue14443] Distutils test_bdist_rpm failure

Applied to 3.2 and trunk (I forgot to mention the issue name in the merge commit message).

I tweaked Ross's patch slightly to:
1. Use self.python rather than sys.executable
2. Also default self.python to "python3" if neither --python nor --fix-python are specified (I don't think we currently test that, and I don't see any way we *could* test it from an uninstalled source build)

Setting to pending while I wait to see how the RHEL6 buildbot reacts. Since the patch definitely resolves the issue on Fedora, it's quite possible I just fumble-fingered the earlier manual testing. Alternatively, there may be more to this issue, since RHEL6 almost certainly has an older version of rpmbuild than F16.
