The isort tool is not compatible with Black by default. This leads to a
tug of war between these tools, when we run `make lint-apply` -> `make
lint`. Fix this by forcing isort to be compatible with Black.
Parallel tests had given us issues in the part [1]. This time, they
weren't playing well with pytest-qt. One hypothesis is that Qt
application components run as singletons and don't play well when there
are two instances.
The symptom we were experiencing was infinite recursion and removing
pytest-xdist solved the issue.

Add a new Python module called "updater", which contains the logic for
prompting the user to enable updates, and checking our GitHub releases
for new updates.
This class has some light dependency to Qt functionality, since it needs
to:
* Show a prompt to the user,
* Run update checks asynchronously in a Qt thread,
* Provide the main window with the result of the update check
Refs #189
This release brings a split in the MacOS binaries, since we now have
separate ones for Intel and Apple Silicon architectures, so we must
reflect this in the README as well.
Update several references to First Look Media in the code, to better
reflect the current status, where Freedom of the Press Foundation has
taken over the stewardship of the project.
Fixes#343
Drop PySide2 from our dependencies (previously used only on Linux
environments) and use PySide6 in all dev environments. The reason is
that PySide2 (from PyPI) does not support Python 3.11, and the variants
that do (Fedora/Debian packages) need to backport fixes from PySide6.
Our original attempt was to build PySide2 wheels for Python 3.11 but
it was not simple, nor maintainable. So, we were left with two options:
1. Install Python 3.10 in dev environments that have Python 3.11 by
default.
2. Use PySide6 in all of our environments.
In both cases, we break package parity with the user's system, since we
are not testing Dangerzone under the same conditions. However, since
option (2) is forwards-compatible with where we want to move the
project (use Qt6 and PySide6), we chose that one.
Fixes#330
We're not yet adding them to Linux, since PySide6 is not yet available
in Linux distros' packages, whereas with Linux and macOS our packaging
process includes the shipped binaries.
Fixes#211
Replace PySide2-stubs with types-PySide2, both of which are projects
that provide PySide2 typing hints, for the following reasons:
1. types-PySide2 is more complete and allows us to ditch some 'type:
ignore' comments for Mypy.
2. PySide2-stubs also brings PySide2 as a dependency, which cannot be
installed in MacOS M1 machines.

Narrow down the system packages that we install in dev environments. The
rationale is that we get most of the Python dependencies from Poetry, so
we don't need to install them from the system as well.
The packages that we do need to install are non-Python ones, and this
commit adds some that were missing: make, python3-stdeb. Also, we
explicitly install the base Qt5 libraries, in order to get the graphics
and C++ libraries that we can't get from PyPI.
Create two separate groups for Poetry dependencies:
1. test: Dependencies required for testing Dangerzone.
2. lint: Dependencies required for linting the code with `make lint`.
Cx-Freeze 6.13.0 limited the PATH of the build executables, making it so
Dangerzone couldn't find Docker through shutil.which().

The parameterizatin features of pytest over the default unittest
will be useful to reduce test code. Furthermore, pytest is already
used by folks at FPF so there won't be any learning curve if folks
want to work on it.
Mypy was returning many errors relating to PySide2, which didn't
make much sense. This is apparently because there are missing type
hinting stubs for PySide2.
The temporary solution is to add this devel dependency.
