Also non-browser jsonrpc (as it goes through a similar process): for
internal performance reasons, name_search and read_group have been
converted to a *lazy* name_get, so the "display name" is not
unnecessarily computed.
However this is an issue for the RPC endpoints (/xmlrpc and /jsonrpc)
as they have no support for `lazy` and thus tend to blow up and / or
do the wrong thing when trying to output a lazy:
* xmlrpc has no way to handle lazy at all and straight blows up
* jsonrpc falls back to `json_default` so they try to stringify the
lazy, which might have worked except
*Problematically* both endpoints delegate the actual work to
`dispatch_rpc` which handles dispatching between various services and
ultimately creates a *new* cursor before calling model
methods (`object` service and `execute`/`execute_kw`).
This means by the time the result is serialized to be output, the
lazy's cursor has long been closed, and thus any access to an
unevaluated `lazy` errors out when trying to fetch the underlying
item.
This also means we can't just add a hook to serialize the lazy
in the xmlrpc marshaller, though we do have to do that. We *also* (for
both xmlrpc and jsonrpc) have to force evluation of lazy values before
our cursor is closed, meaning it has to be done right after the method
is invoked, iterating the entire response.

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.
