Reject too-old Python versions a bit sooner.
Commit 04aad4018 added this check after the search for a Python shared library, which seems to me to be a pretty unfriendly ordering. The search might fail for what are basically version-related reasons, and in such a case it'd be better to say "your Python is too old" than "could not find shared library for Python".
