Swig dependency minimum version check

According to README.rst: "SWIG, version 2.0.0 or later for Python 2 and version 3.0.3 or later for Python 3"

but in installation I get the following:

 python setup.py install

  File "setup.py", line 416, in <module>
    run_install()
  File "setup.py", line 342, in run_install
    cmdclass, ext_modules = run_ufc_install()
  File "setup.py", line 260, in run_ufc_install
    SWIG_EXECUTABLE = get_swig_executable()
  File "setup.py", line 79, in get_swig_executable
    raise OSError("Unable to find SWIG version %s or higher." % swig_minimum_version)
OSError: Unable to find SWIG version 3.0.3 or higher.

In fact, in setup.py the minimum version of swig allowed seems to be 3.0.3:

def get_swig_executable():
    "Get SWIG executable"
    # Find SWIG executable
    swig_executable = None
    swig_minimum_version = "3.0.3"

...

This is the system configuration used:

ffc on branch master and next,

swig_version=2.0.10

Python 2.7.5

Linux centos7
