All touched Python scripts already assume and require UTF8, so manually
specifying encoding or decoding for functions in the subprocess module
is redundant to just using text=True, which exists since Python 3.7
Historically, the headers have been bumped some time after a file has
been touched. Do it now to avoid having to touch them again in the
future for that reason.

-END VERIFY SCRIPT-
The encoding arg is confusing, because it is not applied consistently
for all IO.
Also, it is useless, as the majority of files are ASCII encoded, which
are fine to encode and decode with any mode.
Moreover, UTF-8 is already required for most scripts to work properly,
so setting the encoding twice is redundant.
So remove the encoding from most IO. It would be fine to remove from all
IO, however I kept it for two files:
* contrib/asmap/asmap-tool.py: This specifically looks for utf-8
encoding errors, so it makes sense to sepecify the utf-8 encoding
explicitly.
* test/functional/test_framework/test_node.py: Reading the debug log in
text mode specifically counts the utf-8 characters (not bytes), so it
makes sense to specify the utf-8 encoding explicitly.
Since Python 3.9, type hinting has become a little less awkward, as for
collection types one doesn't need to import the corresponding
capitalized types (`Dict`, `List`, `Set`, `Tuple`, ...) anymore, but can
use the built-in types directly. [1] [2]
This commit applies the replacement for all Python scripts (i.e. in the
contrib and test folders) for the basic types:
- typing.Dict -> dict
- typing.List -> list
- typing.Set -> set
- typing.Tuple -> tuple

Mostly changes to remove src/univalue exceptions from the various linters,
and the required code changes to make them happy. As well as minor doc
changes.
