Drop Python2 support

See original GitHub issue

I understand that it may be too early to actually drop Python 2 support, because still ~ 40% of downloads come from Python 2 (according to PyPI stats). But it might be a good idea to announce plans in advance and tell users which version of hvac will be the latest with Python 2 support. Does the hvac project have any plan on this matter?

Pallets Project (flask, werkzeug, jinja2) decided just to bump a major version to indicate this breaking change. Python 2 users won’t be able to install the latest version, but pip will install the latest version with Python 2 support for them. I think it’s a good approach.
