I'm hoping this is relatively straightforward. This can be done separately from CentOS, as long as we only touch the Darwin block in python3.pp [1] and take care with the `$python3_virtualenv_version` in settings.pp [2].

Per the Releng Python Standards [3], we need to roll this out by November 20, though I'm not sure that applies to test machines.

My understanding is that re-imaged workers no longer have Python 3.6 (see bug 1534578). If we decide to support Python 3.6 as the minimum version required to build Firefox, then we'll need to make sure all our workers have 3.6 installed. We'll want builds and tests running with the minimum version to prevent accidental 3.7-only code from slipping through.
