* Remove latin2ascii.py because it converts the latin-interpreted bytes of a file to ascii, but this has not much to do with PDF's.
* Added line to CHANGELOG.md
* Drop support for legacy Python 2
* Add python_requires to help pip
* Upgrade Python syntax with pyupgrade
* Upgrade Python syntax with pyupgrade --py3-plus
* Python 3 imports
* Replace six
* Update CONTRIBUTING.md
* Added line to changelog

Fixes#171Fixes#199Fixes#118Fixes#178
Added: tests for building documentation and example code in documentation
Added: docstrings for common used functions and classes
Removed: old documentation
Fixes#299. Closes#300.
Changed: define dependencies in setup.py using install_requires and extra_requires.
Added: section to CONTRIBUTE.md for initial dev setup.
Previously "chardet" was added only added when setup.py was run with Python 3.
However wheels contain a static list of requirements and a wheel-based
install will never execute setup.py at installation time.
pdfminer.six uses universal wheels for Python 2 and Python 3 so the
requirements will always be wrong on one version (see #213).
The solution is to use conditional requirements as specified in PEP 496
which are evaluated at installation time.
* Removing all the "#!/usr/bin/env python" lines, they do not need for python3, solving issue number: #19.
* Restored all the shebangs in the tools and tests folders (because they are real executables) but used "#!/usr/bin/env python" instead of "#!/usr/bin/python" as this blog points out: https://www.peterbe.com/plog/importance-of-env
Removed also the shebang from pdfminer/psparser.py file.
Sorry, changes should have been more atomic.
*In pdf2txt.py:*
* Re-wrote main function to use argparse instead of optparse.
* Manually tested in Py2/Py3 to get partial consistency.
* Errors abound including Tags mode, but most modes weren't working at all in Py3 anyway.
* Py2 mode *probably* unchanged, cannot find any bugs yet...
* Kept old main function for posterity, for now.
*In utils:*
* Added a few compatibility functions (some string hax required chardet, new dependency):
- make_compat_bytes(in_str)-> (py3->bytes | py2->str)
- make_compat_str(in_str)-> (str)
- compatible_encode_method(bytesorstring, encoding, erraction)-> (str)
*In pdfdevice:*
* To handle different output filetypes in Py3, injected lots of calls to new utils methods,
as well as some six.PYX checks and logic. These changes are largely responsible for
enhanced Py2/Py3 consistency.
*In converter:*
* To handle output filetypes in Py2, injected a few checks and fixes particularly around the
py2 `str.encode` method and its *assumed* usual use-analogies in Py3.
