Merge #14617: FreeBSD: Document Python 3 requirement for 'gmake check'
0a04667613b84a57b9e576a2055cc2f2cccdd7e7 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.
