scripts/buildenv-internal/sanity: Update to python 2.7.3 as a minimum

We're finding bugs in python 2.6 and starting to require unittest
functionality in python 2.7.x. Its time to bump the minimum version
requirement. Anyone without python 2.7.x can use the buildtools-tarball
out to install a standalone python/git/tar setup which will work
with the system.
