gnu: wrap-python3: Clarify relationship with wrapped package.
The previous description could give the impression that the user faced a
choice between `python` and `python3`, but could not have both at once.
In fact, the packages `python-wrapper` and `python-minimal-wrapper`
already provide both sets of names.
