Remove the use of the future module (backport #1366)

[mergify[bot]]

This module is buggy with Python 3.11 and 3.12, and is being actively removed from distributions (like Debian and Ubuntu). The absolute_import things are remaining of the past, in the Python 2.7 age. Let's get rid of them and remove future from setup.cfg.
