[master][dunfell] Revert "prservice.py: fix do_package with newer Python in Ubuntu 20.04"

[Peter Kjellerstedt]

This reverts commit 4b26eaf7152fb712aba47a0c746333578f58ee8d.

Since the problem occurred while importing prserv, the solution has
been moved into it instead so it is solved for all cases where prserv
is imported, most notably when using devtool.

I can see why you've done this however it really is a bit of a hack :(.

At least in this code its all together with the OE code which uses it.
With it moved into bitbake, its moving "OE" knowledge over there and
that worries me a lot as people won't find it when changing OE-Core.

Chris did have some ideas about this which seemed on the right track:

https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/message/49571

although it seems that solution didn't work.

I'd like to better understand this issue before we merge things to
bitbake.

Cheers,

Richard

btw, the better question to ask is why is python3-native being used to
execute bitbake code? 

I think the wrong PATH is being used somewhere in devtool. The real fix
is to track down where that is.
