Simplification of Python 3 compatibility code

Normally, "class Foo:" in Python 2 creates a "classic" class, but in
Python 3, all classes are "new-style" classes, which you can get in
Python 2 by doing "class Foo(object):", i.e. inheriting from "object".
But, you can also get a new-style classes from "class Foo:" in Python
2 by setting the global "__metaclass__" variable to "type", which
makes the code less cluttered.  Note: it is still necessary to inherit
from "object" in Python 2 to get a new-style class if the class is
otherwise inheriting only from "classic" classes.

* mandos: Set "__metaclass__ = type" globally for Python 2, and remove
          inheriting from "object" in all places possible.
