CodingGuidelines: add Python coding guidelines
CodingGuidelines: add Python coding guidelines

These are kept short by simply deferring to PEP-8.  Most of the Python
code in Git is already very close to this style (some things in contrib/
are not).

Rationale for version suggestions:

 - Amongst the noise in [1], there isn't any disagreement about using
   2.6 as a base (see also [2]), although Brandon Casey recently added
   support for 2.4 and 2.5 to git-p4 [3].

 - Restricting ourselves to 2.6+ makes aiming for Python 3 compatibility
   significantly easier [4].

 - Advocating Python 3 support in all scripts is currently unrealistic
   because:

     - 'p4 -G' provides output in a format that is very hard to use with
       Python 3 (and its documentation claims Python 3 is unsupported).

     - Mercurial does not support Python 3.

     - Bazaar does not support Python 3.

 - But we should try to make new scripts compatible with Python 3
   because all new Python development is happening on version 3 and the
   Python community will eventually stop supporting Python 2 [5].

 - Python 3.1 is required to support the 'surrogateescape' error handler
   for encoding/decodng filenames to/from Unicode strings and Python 3.0
   is not longer supported.
