* m4/python.m4: use version_info for Python 3.10 version string

--
Format sys.version_info[:2] instead of cutting it from sys.version[:3]
as Python versions >= 3.10 have more than 3 characters for their version
string. Bump minimum Python version to 2.1 because the new
ax_python_devel specifies this.
