The platforms may have different Pythons.
But due to [0] the Python installed via the 'UsePythonVersion@0'
task should be compatible with the container's 'libpythonxx.so'.
'AZURE_PYTHON_VERSION' platform variable is introduced to cover
this. So, if your distro has Python3.8, set the mentioned variable
to '3.8', later, this version will be installed by the
'UsePythonVersion@0' Azure task for 'WebUI_Unit_Tests' and 'Tox'
jobs.
To allow tox to run any Python3 environment the 'py3' one is used.
'py3' is the well-known Tox's environment, which utilizes 'python3'
executable.

This allows to run IPA tests on Azure using any distro.
To achieve this, one has to do:
1) place a platform specific template on 'ipatests/azure/templates/'
and make a soft link from 'ipatests/azure/templates/variables.yml' to
the new template.
2) place a configuration templates on these paths
3) templates have to answer the questions such as:
a) which Docker image to use to build IPA packages (rpm, deb, etc.)
b) how to prepare Build environment
c) how to build IPA packages
d) how to prepare environment to run Tox tests
e) how to prepare environment to run WebUI unittests
f) which base Docker image to use to build the new image to run
IPA tests within it
