python-native: add nativepython symlink
Add a symlink to the native Python so that scripts can just invoke "nativepython" and get the right one without needing absolute paths (these often end up too long for the #! parser in the kernel as the buffer is 128 bytes long). The name "nativepython" was chosen to match the existing "nativeperl" which serves the same purpose. Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Saul Wold <sgw@linux.intel.com>
