[Bug 1769262] [NEW] PythonDetails contains an error message if python not installed

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

[Test Case]
0) ensure python is not installed on the system
1) launchpad update-manager
2) kill update-manager
3) view the crash report

With the version of apport in the archive you will see messy
PythonDetails like below. With the version of apport from -proposed you
will instead see:

PythonDetails: N/A

In an Ubuntu 18.04 apport-package report, bug 1768866, we can see the following which looks super messy:

PythonDetails: /root/Error: command ['which', 'python'] failed with exit
code 1:, Error: [Errno 2] Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type:
"/root/Error: command ['which', 'python'] failed with exit code 1:":
"/root/Error: command ['which', 'python'] failed with exit code 1:",
