Avoid using past module for python2/3 compatibility

[smuzaffar]

We were using past python2/3 compatibility to support both py2 and py3. As CMSSW stack is python3 only so this PR proposes to drop the use of past.

• from past.builtins import long : use long=int as https://github.com/PythonCharmers/python-future/blob/master/src/past/types/__init__.py#L26 was doing
• from past.utils import old_div: We can either use floor division operator // everywhere or just add our own old_div which does the same.

A new Pull Request was created by @smuzaffar for master.

It involves the following packages:

• FWCore/ParameterSet (core)
• FWCore/PythonUtilities (core)

@Dr15Jones, @cmsbuild, @makortel, @smuzaffar can you please review it and eventually sign? Thanks.
@makortel, @missirol, @wddgit this is something you requested to watch as well.
@antoniovilela, @mandrenguyen, @rappoccio, @sextonkennedy you are the release manager for this.

• from past.builtins import long : use long=int as https://github.com/PythonCharmers/python-future/blob/master/src/past/types/__init__.py#L26 was doing
• from past.utils import old_div: We can either use floor division operator // everywhere or just add our own old_div which does the same.

I think this is ok, although eventually it would be nice to "modernize" the code itself to use int, bool, and // directly.
