python: support pylint 2.16

Pylint 2.16 adds a few new checks that cause the optional check-tox CI
job to fail.

1. The superfluous-parens check seems to be a bit more aggressive,
2. broad-exception-raised is new; it discourages "raise Exception".

Fix these minor issues and turn the lights green.
