[pylint] remove abstract-method warning This kind of message is targeted: "Method 'entity_call' is abstract in class 'EntityView' but is not overridden (abstract-method)" For now, only "entity_call" and "render_body" are dealt with, the list can be extended.

[cwconfig] Stop using lgc.modutils to load *config.py and *ctl.py files

[cwconfig] Stop using lgc.modutils to load site_cubicweb.py files config.load_site_cubicweb function now takes a list of cubes (instead of paths) and default to all known cubes.

[test] Use a Popen in i18n tests Instead of check_call, so that we clearly see the failure. A bit of flake8 along the way.

[session] drop session-as-a-context-manager It made little sense in the 3.19 - session-as-cnx-bw-compat era, maybe. Related to #1381328.

[session, repository] deprecate repo.connect and move .close reponsibility to session object Repository.new_session just returns a plain session object, and `.connect` (which returns a sessionid) is deprecated. For .close:: session.close() # done ! The session will bear the responsibility to call the "session_close" event but that's better than the previous idiom:: repo.close(session.sessionid) which involves both objects. Related to #1381328. Related to #2919309.
