Remove issue reported by Pylint 2.14.0:

- no-self-use: has been moved to optional extension [1]
- The refactoring checker now also raises 'consider-using-generator' messages
  for max(), min() and sum(). [2]

.pylintrc:
  - <option name>-hint has been removed since long, Pylint 2.14.0 raises an
    error on invalid options
  - bad-continuation and bad-whitespace have been removed [3]
