because there is no python in singularity-runtime.

- Update to upstream 2.5.99, which is tagged as 2.6.0-rc1.

%{osg} is defined, to decide whether or not to require python3.

- Get python3 patch from PR #1762 instead of custom defined.

- Move /usr/bin/python3 BuildRequires to singularity-runtime subpackage.

- Apply PR #1638, which adds the underlay feature.

- Only require python3 if macro defined
