[Bug 1596704] [NEW] Xenial pylint3 version doesn't support Python 3.5 feature set

[Brian Turek]

Public bug reported:

Pylint 1.5.2, the version bundled with Xenial, doesn't support the
asnycio syntax that was introduced with Python 3.5, which is also
bundled in Xenial.  This problem was remedied in Pylint 1.5.3 (see
https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/767) and it would be great if
Xenial could bump to at least Pylint 1.5.3 to pick up this support.

Here's a basic example:

async def foo(bar):
    return bar

Running pylint3 gives the following error:
E:  2,11: Undefined variable 'bar' (undefined-variable)

It's non-intuitive what's going on from this particular error message.
