Functionally identical, but more obviously cryptographically secure.
...Explicit is better than implicit?
Avoids needing to know that SystemRandom() implies a CSPRNG, and
complies with the big scary red box on the documentation for random:

Part of #9744
Removes all redundant `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-` lines from files, as python 3 automatically reads source code as utf-8 now.

`distutils` is pretty much deprecated these days, and replaced with
`setuptools`. It's also annoying because it's you can't `pip install` it, and
it's hard to figure out which debian package we should depend on to make sure
it's there.
Since we only use it for a tiny function anyway, let's just vendor said
function into our codebase.
The _get_joined_users_from_context cache stores a mapping from user_id
to avatar_url and display_name. Instead of storing those in a dict,
store them in a namedtuple as that uses much less memory.
We also try converting the string to ascii to further reduce the size.
