Log:
  Defuse a ticking time-bomb by removing the dependency on devel/bzr.

  It is likely that this will break "make test", so, why am I doing it?

  The answer is that devel/bzr unconditionally depends on python27 (it is
  known not to build with python37) -- and python27 is imminently due for
  removal (see PR 249337).

  This would not matter so much except that py-pip winds up a dependency
  of devel/cmake, and thus, over 2000 ports -- all of which would have
  broken when python27 was removed.

  Unfortunately the time before that removal happens is simply too short
  to have a proper discussion with all stakeholders.  We need to remove
  the dependency immediately so that PR 249337 can proceed.
