Remove misc python programming recommendations

We want to keep the style guide as minimal as possible.  A separate
miscellaneous programming recommendations document might be added
in the future.

 anywhere. `"..." + var` may be used for simple cases, but beware of pitfalls
 such as easily missed whitespace, or `var` not being a string. Don't use the
 old `"...%s" % var`-notation.

-- Avoid large vertical separation of `if` and `else` keywords.
-  ```python
-  # NO:
-  if bizbaz:
-    frobnicate(flimflam)
-    ...
-    ...
-    ...
-
-  else:
-    raise YamException("No bizbaz, no frobnicate!")
-  ```
-  Use the *"return early"* pattern, if the `else` clause would raise an
-  exception or returns:
-
-  ```python
-  # YES:
-  if not bizbaz:
-    raise YamException("No bizbaz, no frobnicate!")
-
-  frobnicate(flimflam)
-  ...
-  ...
-  ...
-
-  ```
-  Returning early is generally useful to avoid excessive levels of nesting
-  (aka. *"arrowhead anti-pattern"*).
-
-  If returning early is not an option, and  `if` and `else` are thus both
-  needed, it is slightly preferable to keep the shorter clause first, so that
-  the `else` isn't too far from the `if`.
