   Update hardcoded seeds list from @sipa's DNS seed.

   Also update seeds tooling to Python 3.

2. Update seeds tooling to Python 3

   All the other tooling scripts require Python 3, it makes sense to do so
   here too.
   
   Also document the dependency on python3-dnspython.

   PATTERN_AGENT needs an update

   What does it need to be updated to?

   I believe this would be prudent:

   PATTERN_AGENT = re.compile(r"^(/Satoshi:0.12.(0|1|99)/|/Satoshi:0.13.(0|1|2|99)/)$")

   (Adds the newest versions, drops everything multiple softforks ago.)

    A thought: we can (not sure if we should) filter the seed.txt for particular service flags (like NODE_WITNESS).

    Regarding the possibility: yes, the make_seeds script filters for bit 1 at the moment. This could be extended to others:

        # Require service bit 1.
        ips = [ip for ip in ips if (ip['service'] & 1) == 1]

    I reproduced the nodes_main with acceptable similarity using data collected at about the same time wumpus updated the PR. I checked that many of them were reachable, and also checked that the nodes_main didn't include any IPs I have banned (I was surprised it didn't). Also confirmed the seeds in the source matched the text file.
