btw. Does the order here match the order in which they should be applied? I may try to update (take out parts handled in other ticket) and rebase https://www.hostedredmine.com/issues/745593 on top of your patches soon.

Ticket details:
This is a meta-ticket for various tasks relating to making common/generate_packets.py more clean and concise. This is mostly a refactoring effort, though I expect some of these changes will make the script work in more contexts.
Apart from general code/style cleanup (which should happen at every step along the way), this includes:
general cleanup: trailing whitespace, unused imports/variables/functions, etc. #43929 #44011 #44585
use pathlib to handle file paths (in a filesystem-agnostic way) #43930 #43972
use argparse to handle command line arguments #43931 #43938 #43939
use with-blocks and context managers to cleanly manage file access #43932 #43953 #43954
use generators, list comprehensions and itertools where appropriate #44007 #44008 #44009 #44010 #44583 #44584
split large functions into smaller parts #43951 #43952
improve packets.def parsing code #44571 #44572 #44573 #44580 #44582
modernize string formatting #44574 #44575 #44576 #44577
(More to be added as they pop up.)
