doctor: use -V for python version
`python --version` doesn't work in some (very) old versions of python. While I doubt this is going to come up very often, it's theoretically possible someone has an old python first in their path. (python -V works on all versions I'm aware of, including python3, and comes before --version in the --help anyway.) Also skips the warning in case the regexp matches nothing, which probably shouldn't happen. But if it does we shouldn't produce the wrong warning.

python is symlinked to python#$1
This will confuse build scripts and in general lead to subtle breakage.
