Merge #14617: FreeBSD: Document Python 3 requirement for 'gmake check'

Browse source 
0a04667613 FreeBSD: Document Python 3 requirement for 'gmake check' (Murray Nesbitt)

Pull request description:

  `doc/build-freebsd.md` doesn't mention that Python 3 is required to run the test suite. Currently, `gmake check` fails without it.

Tree-SHA512: 19117671bf528d335146d821e5cd4108f2f6ae014fb9a6d0030a322b23d1bc5f677e46896b575a7ca78b137315b60e63ad8b03ad695fe0aae3e9f50b060a3561

*Note on debugging*: The version of `gdb` installed by default is [ancient and considered harmful](https://wiki.freebsd.org/GdbRetirement).
It is not suitable for debugging a multi-threaded C++ program, not even for getting backtraces. Please install the package `gdb` and
use the versioned gdb command (e.g. `gdb7111`).
