* daca2: Improve package sorting using natsort
This switches the external dependency from semver to natsort, and
improves comparison of packages where one or more of the packages do not
use semantic versioning (major.minor.patch).
This also makes daca2-download and daca2-getpackages work with python 3.
In theory, they should work with python 2 as well, but I have not tested
it.
* Make daca2 scripts executable
* Update hashbangs to python3
* Update usage description
To avoid specifying python version in the usage description, just
show how to execute the scripts and leave the rest to the shebangs.
* No need to specify python version in start_donate_cpu_server_test_local.sh
Leave it to the hashbang instead.
Using .tar.xz packages adds about 4500 additional packages that can be
tested and changes many existing packages where a more recent version
can be used now that is only available as .tar.xz file.

donate-cpu.py: Require at least Python 3.4
xz support was added with 3.3.
There were two issues:
1. The version was not correctly extracted out of the filename. When
extracting a sub-string in Python one has to specify start index and
end index instead of start index and length.
2. The function `semver.cmp()` does nothing useful. Instead the function
`semver.compare()` must be called when two version should be compared.
See https://github.com/python-semver/python-semver/issues/117#issuecomment-479188221
Because `semver.compare()` now really compares the versions it is
possible that an exception is thrown if a version is not in the semver
version format. In such cases the sorting is aborted and the last
filename in the array is returned. This is often but not always already
the latest version from what I have seen.
In my tests there were about 1500 additional packages
available as bz2 on the server.
For some packages a newer version is now used if it is
only available as .tar.bz2 archive.
The donate-cpu.py client is tested to work with .tar.bz2
files under Python 2.7.15 and 3.6.8.
