pylint-common test/test_func.py uses code no longer in latest pylint

[Dan Streetman]

The pylint package has been updated to 1.7.2 in artful-proposed, and that includes updates to its test/test_func.py code. However, pylint-common has copied some of the code from pylint/test/test_func.py which uses pylint internals, and those are removed/replaced from pylint 1.7.2. This results in pylint-common autopkgtests failing when using the artful-proposed pylint code. The test/test_func.py must be updated for the new pylint test code.
