Updating add-ons - null_pointer - 2019-09-15

I spent some time over the last few days to migrating my add-on EmbyCon to Python 3 support using the latest test build from this branch.

I am fortunate in that I have purposely kept to a minimum to number of external add-ons I have used in my add-on thus all the changes needed were internal. This also meant I was able to get the add-on fully functional and able to run Kodi 19 (with Python 3) through its paces.

From what I can tell it looks good.

I think we need to merge this and get a nightly out there that people can start updating their add-ons for, having add-on owners start looking at this is going to take time and taking this first step with switching the nightly to Python 3 is going to start that process. Yeah some stuff is going to break but the sooner this starts the sooner it is will be done.
