This also normalizes the structure of all submodule folders so that
there is a clear place to put configurations, outside the submodule
source, but limited in scope to that folder.
Issue #1047 (New build system)
The newest pylint release complained about several issues that the
older release did not. This resolves those issues:
- removes unneeded "u" prefix from strings
- adds "encoding" parameter for all open() calls
- because "encoding" is a python3-only parameter, use python3 in all
the scripts that we control
Unfortunately, python2 is required for any scripts that import modules
from the ancient Chromium build system we're using (referenced by
DEPS), as well as kokoro scripts.
