[PATCH v2 15/15] iotests: [RFC] drop iotest 297

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

(This is highlighting a what-if, which might make it clear why any
special infrastructure is still required at all. It's not intended to
actually be merged at this step -- running JUST the iotest linters from
e.g. 'make check' is not yet accommodated, so there's no suitable
replacement for 297 for block test authors.)

Drop 297. As a consequence, we no longer need to pass an environment
variable to the mypy/pylint invocations, so that can be dropped. We also
now no longer need to hide output-except-on-error, so that can be
dropped as well.

The only thing that necessitates any special running logic anymore is
the skip list and the python-test-detection code. Without those, we
could easily codify the tests as simply:

[pylint|mypy] *.py tests/*.py

... and drop this entire file. We're not quite there yet, though.
