[🚀 Feature]: Replace explicit parent class references using `Parent.__init__(...)`

[symonk]

Feature and motivation

I upgraded most things to python 3.7+ however there are still some references using their parent by direct name, this has a few caveats (most importantly gets in the way of MRO and doesn't lend itself to co-operative multi-inheritance, albeit it that is a small potential use case):

• Update all references using SomeParentClass.__init__(...) to instead use super().__init__(...)

Usage example

Here is one example:

https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/trunk/py/selenium/webdriver/chromium/remote_connection.py#L23

selenium/py/selenium/webdriver/chromium/service.py

Line 45 in 31cc432

service.Service.__init__(self, executable_path, port=port, env=env, start_error_message=start_error_message)

Should be able to find using some sort of grep -ir /py .*\.__init__ (or similar)
