various python neatness cleanups

All changes were created by running

"pyupgrade --py3-only --keep-percent-format"

and committing the results. I have not touched string formatting for
now.

- use set literals
- simplify .format() parameter naming
- remove __future__
- remove default "r" mode for open()
- use OSError rather than compatibility aliases
- remove stray parentheses in function(generator) scopes
