In Python 3, the default encoding of source files is utf-8. The encoding
cookie is now unnecessary and redundant so remove it. For more details,
see the docs:

> The default encoding for Python source code is UTF-8, so you can
> simply include a Unicode character in a string literal ...
Includes a fix for the flake8 header checks to stop expecting an
encoding cookie.
Instead rely on docutils’ ‘smart_quotes’ option which is available
since docutils 0.10.
This adds support for internationalization: our code supported only
English quotes, while docutils code supports 27 different languages.
Closes#498, #580, #3345, #3472.
