"twistedchecker twisted" emits a traceback

[glyph]

Every build of Twisted does this.

Traceback (most recent call last):

I think that this might be due to an update in pycodestyle.

I remember that I worked as removing pycodestyle from twistedchecker and running it as a separate tool twisted/twisted#969

and then we have PyCQA/pycodestyle#733

so upstream pycodestyle has support for tweaking it to work with twisted.

My suggestion is to remove pycodestuleformat.py from twistedchecker and just use upstream pycodestyle
