tidy: enforce list() and dict()

[reidpr]

Split from #1860. Pylint:

• R1734 use-list-literal
• R1735 use-dict-literal

charliecloud/lib/build.py

Line 334 in d679373

ol = list()

Pylint’s sole argument seems to be performance, which to me seems a clear case of premature optimization. The issue that introduced the checks, pylint-dev/pylint#4365, contains no reasoning at all, just the assertion that the literals would be “would be clearer”.

I like list() and dict() and set() and tuple() better myself for empty collections. Let’s enforce that instead.
