use python3, note how to run w/ FreeBSD, and code quality...

python2 is incompatible w/ python3 code, and assuming that python
is 3 is bad, so use python3 which ensures that the correct version
will be run...

Once that is running, then the `lora.py` program's multicast packets
will be forwarded out via the LoRa radio.

Notes
-----

Significant portions of this code is copied from various reference
implementations. Basic review shows that it is of questionable quality.
It would be good to fully review all the code under stm32 and loramac
for any bugs and other issues. The buffer handling has already been
improved, but there is still plety of work that can be done to improve
it further.
