Bug 1515746 - [flake8] Unsupport subdir .flake8 files and use new 'per-file-ignores' config instead, r=egao

This removes all .flake8 files except for the one at the root of the repo.
Instead we use the new 'per-file-ignores' config introduced in 3.7. To ignore
specific errors in a subdirectory, add a line like this to the root .flake8:

[per-file-ignores]
    path/to/subdir/*: E100, F200, ...

The reasons for this change are:

1. Unblock flake8 blacklist (bug 1367092).
2. Simplify configuration and code.
3. Encourage more consistent styling.
4. Improve performance.
5. Greater editor consistency.
