Use variables for minimum host versions and bump Python to 3.6

Minimum Git, tar, Python and gcc versions are specified in quite a few
different places. Let's add some variables for these so there's no
chance of missing one if they're updated in future. Additionally, for
hardknott the minimum Python version is 3.6 so set that as the value for
Python.
