From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

The tracetool tests currently fail if the host installation does not
have a "python3" binary (and you compiled QEMU by selecting a different
one during the "configure" step). This happens because tracetool-test.py
executes scripts/tracetool.py directly, so that this script is run via
its shebang line. To fix the issue, use the same Python interpreter to
run scripts/tracetool.py as we are using to run the tracetool-test.py
script.
