As pylint is evolving, it improves its accuracy, and several pylint error suppression (`# pylint: disable=ERROR) added in certbot codebase months or years ago are not needed anymore to make it happy.
There is a (disabled by default) pylint error to detect the useless suppressions (pylint-ception: `useless-suppression`). It is not working perfectly (it has also false-positives ...) but it is a good start to clean the codebase.
This PR removes several of these useless suppressions as detected by the current pylint version we use.
* Remove useless suppress
* Remove useless lines
Part of #7550
This PR makes appropriate corrections to run pylint on Python 3.
Why not keeping the dependencies unchanged and just run pylint on Python 3?
Because the old version of pylint breaks horribly on Python 3 because of unsupported version of astroid.
Why updating pylint + astroid to the latest version ?
Because this version only fixes some internal errors occuring during the lint of Certbot code, and is also ready to run gracefully on Python 3.8.
Why upgrading mypy ?
Because the old version does not support the new version of astroid required to run pylint correctly.
Why not upgrading mypy to its latest version ?
Because this latest version includes a new typshed version, that adds a lot of new type definitions, and brings dozens of new errors on the Certbot codebase. I would like to fix that in a future PR.
That said so, the work has been to find the correct set of new dependency versions, then configure pylint for sane configuration errors in our situation, disable irrelevant lintings errors, then fixing (or ignoring for good reason) the remaining mypy errors.
I also made PyLint and MyPy checks run correctly on Windows.
