Remove support for Python 2

Python 2.7 (the last Python 2 release) was End-Of-Life on 1-Jan-2020.

  * Add requirement to `setup.py` for python_requires=">=3.4.0"
  * Remove all usage of the `six` library
  * Remove declared support for Python 2
  * Update tox.ini to remove `py27` environment
  * Update Github workflows to no longer test against Python 2.7
  * Remove `from __future__ import print_function`
  * Remove `from __future__ unicode_literals`
  * Update tests to import `unittest` and `unittest.mock` directly

Closes: #401

-  Users of Python 2.7.0 - 2.7.8 can use TLS but cannot configure
