Drop use_2to3 and restore rdflib interoperability

[ajnelson-nist]

This patch series has two goals:

1. Remove the use_2to3 flag from setup.py, as setuptools#2770 set
   that flag to trigger an error. (Further discussion might ensue on
   setuptools#2779.)
2. Perform minimal upgrades to have unit tests pass equally well to the
   state archived in July, whether rdflib 5.0.0 or 6.0.0 is present.
   (NOTE - it appears to me that unit tests do not pass in the July
   state, and this is noted in the first patch, which establishes the
   testing baseline. The end effect of this patch series leaves no new
   known failures.)

Together, these will make rdflib-jsonld continue to be a transparent
import, aiding users that did not realize, or cannot accommodate, that
the package had been integrated into rdflib.

More pragmatically, downstream builds depending on rdflib-jsonld should
no longer halt on reaching this dependency.

How to socialize the package being deprecated is left for a separate
patch series.

Tests were run with the following script, commenting out some portions
when fail states were expected:

This is unexpected but thank you. This helps doing the transition with the setuptools issues.
