On Python 3, `open is io.open`.

This is the same change as for (TF)CommonTestCases for modeling.

It isn't imported anywhere.

I suspect the wrapper classes were created in order to prevent the
abstract base class (TF)CommonModelTester from being included in test
discovery and running, because that would fail.

I solved this by replacing the abstract base class with a mixin.

Code changes are just de-indenting and automatic reformattings
performed by black to use the extra line space.

This construct isn't used anymore these days.

Running python tests/test_foo.py puts the tests/ directory on
PYTHONPATH, which isn't representative of how we run tests.

Use python -m unittest tests/test_foo.py instead.
