Pywkibot: (Re)move unused code reported by Vulture (I)

Pywikibot is a Python-based framework to write bots for MediaWiki (more information).

There are some code pieces that are not used by Pywikibot and a quick scan with vulture creates the output below;

$ python -m vulture ./ --min-confidence 61
pywikibot/__init__.py:25: unused import 'inputChoice' (90% confidence)
pywikibot/__init__.py:37: unused import 'NoSuchSite' (90% confidence)
pywikibot/__init__.py:944: unused variable 'repo_site' (100% confidence)
pywikibot/cosmetic_changes.py:1152: unreachable code after 'return' (100% confidence)

Setup Pywikibot locally and remove these unused codes. It will be also useful to recheck this report with vulture and also before making a patch, run unit tests to make sure no regressions have been introduced.
