-DPYTHON_INTERPRETER should be -DPython_INTERPRETER

[saippua]

Just spend a couple of days trying to figure out why the D option -DPYTHON_INTERPRETER given in the readme wasn't working and cmake was always using python 2.7. Turns out the actual option should be -DPython_INTERPRETER (which works and finally lets me compile properly)

Im on an arm64 ubuntu 20.04 (Jetson Xavier NX). Im using cmake 3.16.3

The readme on the master branch doesn't refer to -DPYTHON_INTERPRETER, only -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE. Perhaps an old version of the readme did? If you found -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE didn't work as expected, I would be interested to see the configure output. Thanks!

Thanks for verifying @sisuy - I've updated the README accordingly.
