The compare plugin started "python", which doesn't exist on most macOS and modern Linux installs. The statistics script then failed and the run finished with an empty Compare tab and exit code 0, which looked like compare simply didn't work. The Docker images were never affected because they set PYTHON=python3.

The PYTHON environment variable still wins, and Windows keeps "python".

Fixes #4712
