With some locale configurations (not that uncommon on CentOS), open() may
default to non-UTF8 encodings (eg. ANSI_X3.4-1968).
This is usually not an issue, because we use open() both for writing and
reading. However, AtomicFile implicitly enforces UTF8; which needs to be
mirrored when reading.

(though it keeps the year updates)
After discussion with several people, it seems better to mention
copyright owners explicitly. eg. https://reuse.software/faq/#vcs-copyright
explains the issue of using VCSs to track copyright.
As db7ef3f02517f9f2a3c56829a22b9fad3c36e374 only replaced mentions
of my name with 'The Limnoria Contributors', this commit only needs
to undo that + add one person who contributed to setup.py.
Tons of changes. Here's the summary of things that matter most:
* There is no more supybot.fix.
* There is no more supybot.webutils; now there is supybot.utils.web.
* It's no longer webutils.WebError, but just utils.web.Error.
* You shouldn't import itertools, ideally, but instead import utils.iter.
* No more using imap/ifilter in commands unless absolutely necessary. It's
premature optimization and annoying.
* utils.str.format isn't quite ready yet, but will be soon. That'll be the
next big thing to fix in our code.
