odoo/odoo#28519 removed large parts of pycompat, but left reraise
despite that not having much value.
Remove that helper and replace it by just a `raise` in most cases:
when raising from an except block, the old exception is automatically
chained to the new one, no need to mess around.
There is one exception: in http we have to re-raise an existing
exception explicitly (aka `raise exc` rather than just `raise).
This is less than ideal as Python *concatenates* stacks: the
previously reified stack (from the except clause) is stacked on top of
the new stack (from this raises), this leads to tracebacks "jumping
around" at the break point of the handler and is somewhat confusing.
So we want to use explicit chaining (`raise a from b`) with the
"source" providing the caught exception's original traceback and the
child providing the rest.
However since callers rely on the exception making sense, we need the
re-raised exception to be the original[0]. Copying the exception
doesn't work (see [0]), chaining an exception to itself doesn't
do anything useful, and while we could probably copy exceptions using
the pickle method[1] that's still risky.
So the most reliable option seems to be to create a new "cause"
exception, move the old traceback over to it, then re-raise the
original exception having cleared its traceback, chained to new the
cause.
[0] or a copy thereof but Odoo exceptions don't all work properly with
copy.copy and we don't want that to fail so not really an option,
we can't rely / bet on every new exception being cleanly copy-able
[1] create an "empty" instance using __new__ (or an instance of
something else onto which we re-set the __class__ in case the exctype
actually overrides __new__) then copy the __dict__

Odoo no longer supports python 2, thus some of these helpers can and
have been replaced by python 3 built-ins, therefore there is no need for
them to stay defined.
The removed helpers are:
* izip, imap and ifilter
* unichr, text_type
* implements_to_string, implements_iterator
* string_types, integer_types
* to_native
The python 2 shims have also been removed, and only the python 3 helpers
have been kept, because they can still be usable (i.e. accepting
both bytes and str for functions that can only accept one of the two)
[REM] pyjsparser: remove PY3 shims
They're no longer necessary as Odoo doesn't officially support python 2
anymore.

The class PoFile was already using it.
TextIOWrapper closes its underlying buffer causing the "Synchronize Terms" action
to fail (trying to read on a closed buffer).
Fixes#19911
Now that we're closer to switching to P3 for good, these helpers have
outlived their usefulness, and mostly add noise.
All remaining dict.iter*() or dict.view*() must be converted to the
normal keys(), values() or items() calls.
Whenever the result is likely to be used for more than the scope of a
loop, or when the dict needs to be modified during iteration, the calls
must be wrapped in a ``list()``, to protect the new P3 semantics.
Those cases are very exceptional.
Also removed some dead code or improved the API to remove unnecessary
conversions.
* remove references to basestring & unicode (use relevant pycompat
helpers)
* remove some str calls (either entirely or replaced by relevant
helper, either text or native)
* use better API to avoid unnecessary conversions
* remove some XML declarations in views
* StringIO removed from stdlib, replace with io
* try to correctly handle BytesIO/StringIO (one is for bytes the other
is for text)
* fix base64: Python 3 removed bytes-encoding and bytes-bytes
codecs (via #encode) so replace all calls to str.encode('base64'),
also b64encode is a bytes->bytes conversion so attempt to properly
handle that
issue #8530
In Python 2, to raise a new exception but reuse a traceback requires a
special form of ``raise`` (``raise etype, evalue, tb``).
In Python 3, this is now done via a ``with_traceback`` method on
exception objects.
However this requires a bit of trickery as the former is invalid
syntax in Python 3, hence pycompat bridge created via an exec for
Python 2.
In Python 3:
* various builtins and dict methods were changed to return
view/iterable objects rather than lists
* and the separate Python 2 view/iterable builtins and methods were
removed altogether
This is problematic when using these items as list (which the happens
repeatedly in Odoo), but more viciously when iterating *multiple times*
over them (which also happens, which I've messed up multiple times while
writing this, and which is a pain to debug even when you've just created
the issue).
Convert all code using these to semantics-matching cross-version
helper functions to get the LCD behaviour between P2 and P3, and
forbid the builtins via lint.
