Please unblock package powerline

I'd like to update powerline to the latest release, it's a minor
version bump, with all the changes being fair for a minor bump.

powerline is a non-key package and a mature software at this point,
our users will benefit from a considerable amount of bugfixes which
would be too much work to port individually.

I have verified all commits since the previous release and everything
looks good.

Note that powerline is only blocked because it doesn't have autopkgtest,
but upstream does have good automated testing on their side.

[ Reason ]
* Use `--no-optional-locks` to reduce conflicts with other git editors
* Fixes elapsed time that is provided with a ',' instead of a '.'
* Render cpu_load_percent segment even when psutil returns 0.0
* Shifted away from (abandoned) Yahoo API to OpenWeatherMap
* Prefer Python 3 in the Vim plugin
* Fixed getcwd for tmux
* Fix escaping of sh specific characters in tmux
* Use updated i3ipc syntax in i3 segments/listers

[ Impact ]
Missing the fixes described above.

[ Tests ]
I use powerline daily and I have not found any issues with the latest
release.

Upstream also runs a lot of automated tests against different
environments and found no regressions.

[ Risks ]
non-key package
The new release is mostly about fixinf existing problems, though
there are a few functionality additions, all the commits were
verified by me and can be seen here:
https://github.com/powerline/powerline/compare/d137a88...2.8.2

powerline is a mature software at this point, and this being a
minor release plus all the automated tests give me confidence
we should ship this release to our users.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
