[AIRFLOW-4034] Remove unnecessary string formatting with **locals() (#4861)

**locals() is used a lot for string formatting. This is considered
bad programming practice.

> Best practice for Python is generally to write explicit and readable code. With this mindset, it's preferable to string format like this:
> {code:java}
> mystring = "{var1} {var2}".format(var1=myobject.something, var2=somethingelse){code}
> Instead of:
> {code:java}
> mystring = "{var1} {var2}".format(**locals()){code}
> Because it makes string formatting explicit and is readable to the reader of the code what variables are used in the string format.
> So, I suggest to remove all **locals() string formatting.
