This makes
github-merge.py
the first developer tool to go all Python 3 (for context see #7717).The changes are straightforward as the script already was
from __future__ import division,print_function,unicode_literals
.However urllib2 changed name, and json will only accept unicode data not bytes.
This retains py2 compatibility for now: not strictly necessary as the script is not used by the build system (see #7723) - but it was easy.
