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.
