[Building] Remove or patch mach script #127

Closed donmor closed 1 year ago

mach requires python2.7, which has been abandoned. We should either let it use python3.x, or just replace it with classic gnu autotools or cmake.

the task is too big... it took firefox years to support python 3. I have no intention of diverging from their build system, so make/cmake are excluded sorry.

You could try using python3, in theory several support patches were imported, but I don't know the actual switch
