Patch ported from upstream

Why is devel/py-contextlib2 disabled for python >= 3.8? "import cherrypy"
survives with external "contextlib2" under lang/python39.

Why python 3.6 and 3.7 cannot use default "contextlib" instead of
"contextlib2"? "import cherrypy" survives with "contextlib" patches.
https://contextlib2.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ says "contextlib2" is a backport
of "contextlib" from python 3.6, so it shouldn't be necessery with
lang/python36 while lang/python35 and older are no longer in the ports tree.

Maybe combine into one file and document the patch origin in the header.
