Bump pylint from 2.7.4 to 2.12.0

[dependabot]

Bumps pylint from 2.7.4 to 2.12.0.

Release notes

Sourced from pylint's releases.

pylint-2.8.1

• Add numversion back (temporarily) in __pkginfo__ because it broke Pylama and revert the unnecessary pylint.version breaking change.

  Closes #4399

pylint-2.8.0

• New refactoring message consider-using-with. This message is emitted if resource-allocating functions or methods of the standard library (like open() or threading.Lock.acquire()) that can be used as a context manager are called without a with block.

  Closes #3413

• Resolve false positives on unused variables in decorator functions

  Closes #4252

• Add new extension ConfusingConsecutiveElifChecker. This optional checker emits a refactoring message (R5601 confusing-consecutive-elif) if if/elif statements with different indentation levels follow directly one after the other.

• New option --output=<file> to output result to a file rather than printing to stdout.

  Closes #1070

• Use a prescriptive message for unidiomatic-typecheck

  Closes #3891

• Apply const-naming-style to module constants annotated with typing.Final

• The packaging is now done via setuptools exclusively. doc, tests, man, elisp and Changelog are not packaged anymore - reducing the size of the package by 75%.

• Debian packaging is now (officially) done in https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/pylint.

• The 'doc' extra-require has been removed.

• __pkginfo__ now only contain __version__ (also accessible with pylint.__version__), other meta-information are still accessible with import importlib;metadata.metadata('pylint').

• COPYING has been renamed to LICENSE for standardization.

• Fix false-positive used-before-assignment in function returns.

  Closes #4301

• Updated astroid to 2.5.3

Changelog

What's New in Pylint 2.12.0?

Release date: 2021-11-24

• Upgrade astroid to 2.9.0

  Closes #4982

• Add ability to add end_line and end_column to the --msg-template option. With the standard TextReporter this will add the line and column number of the end of a node to the output of Pylint. If these numbers are unknown, they are represented by an empty string.

• Introduced primer tests and a configuration tests framework. The helper classes available in pylint/testutil/ are still unstable and might be modified in the near future.

  Closes #4412 #5287

• Fix install graphiz message which isn't needed for puml output format.

• MessageTest of the unittest testutil now requires the confidence attribute to match the expected value. If none is provided it is set to UNDEFINED.

• add_message of the unittest testutil now actually handles the col_offset parameter and allows it to be checked against actual output in a test.

• Fix a crash in the check_elif extensions where an undetected if in a comprehension with an if statement within a f-string resulted in an out of range error. The checker no longer relies on counting if statements anymore and uses known if statements locations instead. It should not crash on badly parsed if statements anymore.

• Fix simplify-boolean-expression when condition can be inferred as False.

  Closes #5200

• Fix exception when pyreverse parses property function of a class.

• The functional testutils now accept end_lineno and end_column. Expected output files without these will trigger a DeprecationWarning. Expected output files can be easily updated with the python tests/test_functional.py --update-functional-output command.

• The functional testutils now correctly check the distinction betweeen HIGH and UNDEFINED confidence. Expected output files without defiend confidence levels will now trigger a DeprecationWarning. Expected output files can be easily updated with the python tests/test_functional.py --update-functional-output command.

• The functional test runner now supports the option min_pyver_end_position to control on which python versions the end_lineno and end_column attributes should be checked. The default value is 3.8.

• Fix accept-no-yields-doc and accept-no-return-doc not allowing missing yield or
