Move Python version checking to a separate module

Add a new module with methods for checking the Python version.

Instead of handling Python3 imports with try...except blocks, first
check the python version and then import the relevant modules.  This
makes the code a bit cleaner and will result in less diff when/if we
remove support for Python < 3 later.

Use the same mechanism to handle `input` vs. `raw_input` and add
suppression of pylint warnings caused by redefinition of the built-in
method `input`.
