[Bug 1778960] Re: SRU: Update python 2.7 to the final 2.7.15 release

It sounds strange having rc1 in the LTS release of Ubuntu. I hoped that
would be fixed before 18.04.1 but it seems like does not (((

Title:
  SRU: Update python 2.7 to the final 2.7.15 release

Status in python2.7 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 18.04 LTS shipped with the python 2.7.15 release candidate.
  Please let's update to the final release.

  Upstream changes are:

  - bpo-33374: Tweak the definition of PyGC_Head, so compilers do not believe
    it is always 16-byte aligned on x86. This prevents crashes with more
    aggressive optimizations present in GCC 8.

  - Identify as 2.7.15 instead of 2.7.15rc1

  Acceptance criteria: The package builds, and the testsuite doesn't
  show regressions.
