Remove support for end-of-life Python 2.7 (#1318)

Remove support for end-of-life Python 2.7

Python 2.7 is end of life. It is no longer receiving bug fixes,
including for security issues. Python 2.7 went EOL on 2020-01-01. For
additional details on support Python versions, see:

Supported: https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches
EOL: https://devguide.python.org/devcycle/#end-of-life-branches

Removing support for EOL Pythons will reduce testing and maintenance
resources while allowing the library to move towards a modern Python 3
style. Python 2.7 users can continue to use the previous version of
redis-py.

Was able to simplify the code:

- Removed redis._compat module
- Removed __future__ imports
- Removed object from class definition (all classes are new style)
- Removed long (Python 3 unified numeric types)
- Removed deprecated __nonzero__ method
- Use simpler Python 3 super() syntax
- Use unified OSError exception
- Use yield from syntax
