Since Check_MK 1.5, the Agent Updater gets deployed as a binary file to linux systems by default.

Hence it is no longer necessary to check for an available python2 interpreter on agent installation unless the Agent Updater gets deployed as a script.

This werk adapts the agent's preinstall scripts so that no unnecessary checks are induced anymore.
