[Bug 1735872] [NEW] Port system-config-kickstart away from pygtk2

[Jeremy Bicha]

Public bug reported:

system-config-kickstart is one of 3 packages in main keeping source
pygtk in main. (The other two are ibus-sunpinyin and python-pyperclip,
an OpenStack-related package.)

pygtk has been unmaintained upstream since around 2011. The way forward
is to port system-config-kickstart to use GObject Introspection
bindings. This also requires porting to GTK3.

** Affects: system-config-kickstart (Ubuntu)
