[Bug 1792140] [NEW] SRU: Update python3.7 to the final 3.7.0 release

[Matthias Klose]

Public bug reported:

18.04 LTS includes python3.7 as a pre-release, it is *not* a supported
Python version and not used by any package (except python3-stdlib-
extensions).  The plan is to update to the final 2.7.0 release (and to
3.7.1 when released and tested in cosmic).

There is almost no regression potential, because the package is not in
use.

As a test, a complete archive rebuild (main only) was performed, and no
regressions were found with this new package. The archive rebuild also
contained updated versions of gcc-7, gcc-8, binutils and python3.6,
which should not interfer with python3.7.

Summary of the test rebuilds:

http://people.canonical.com/~doko/ftbfs-report/test-rebuild-20180730-gcc-bionic.html

The latter includes the updated packages from the ubuntu-toolchain-r/ppa
PPA
