[Differential] D107: util: remove dead code which used to be for old python2 versions

  It's worth noting that in theory it should be possible to transition from buffer to memoryview. However, there are various bugs in various Python 2 versions where memoryview isn't accepted. Most notable is that the zlib module doesn't accept memoryview until Python 3 IIRC. So we're stuck with buffer for a while :/
