Python 3.4 added the `html.unescape()` function to its standard library, and current versions of Python have MUCH better HTML-entity-replacement implementations than ours. Let's just use the included batteries. This patch deprecates `tools.web.entity()` and the associated constant `r_entity`. `tools.web.decode()` no longer uses them, and in fact should probably be considered for deprecation itself. (Not done yet; deciding that will come separately, along with its siblings' TODO comments.) Note that the import of `web` in `tools/__init__.py` had to be moved below the definition of `tools.deprecated()` to avoid causing a circular dependency error. Might as well do it now, since we'll probably mark more stuff in `tools.web` as deprecated during Sopel 8's dev cycle.
Found some warnings that it "will be" removed, but it already has been.
