[Buildroot] [git commit] package/gobject-introspection: depend on python3

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=6da6cb2c312c6b22f1c2af2b9068d2e68baffa09
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Currently, the Config.in file has the line:
select BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON3 if !BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON

This line is incorrect as gobject-introspection does not support python2.
Instead, remove the select line and make python3 a dependency with a new
message that explains that gobject-introspection requires python3.
