Jeremy Stanley 242f7bd1b6 Remove use_2to3 backward compat for Setuptools
Odds are this was never used by any PBR-based projects, but was
included from the beginning to support a feature of Setuptools for a
utility which has been long since discouraged. As of Setuptools
46.2.0 and Python 3.9 it's generating deprecation warnings, and is
slated for removal from the Python 3.10 standard library.

The 2to3 conversion utility has been long discouraged in favor of writing
multi-version-capable scripts. As of Setuptools 46.2.0 it's deprecated and
slated for removal from the Python 3.10 standard library. Projects which
still need it are encouraged to perform conversion prior to packaging. See
https://bugs.python.org/issue40360 and
https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2086 for more details.
