Npbackup

- Added snapshot deletion option in GUI
- Fix ignore_cloud_files parameter did not work on some non systems (still an issue, see https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/4155)
- Configured default backend connections to 2 for local, 8 for remote when default value '0' is given
- Fine adjust GOMAXPROCS environment variable (n for 1 core, n-1 for 2-4 cores, n-2 for 5+ cores)
- Updated internal restic binary to 0.16.0 compiled with go1.20.6
- Compiled with newer Nuitka 1.7.10 that allows use of Python 3.11
- Updated python to version 3.11 for Windows x64 targets
- Basic MacOS X compile support

- Added a full auto-upgrade solution:
- Aupgrade client integrated into NPBackup, that can be called manually via --auto-upgrade or automatically run every n backups
- Upgrade server which servers files and their metadata
- Added a gui to create a scheduled task under Windows
- Added a gui to configure backup admin password (was compile time setting before)
- Improved setup.py to provide launch scripts for both Linux and Windows platforms
- Made windows cloud file filter optional (enabled by default)
- Added default configuration settings
- Rewrite configuration gui into a tabbed gui
- Updated restic binary to restic 0.15.1 compiled with go1.19.5
- Changed backup interval unit from seconds to minutes

- Added execution time information
- Code cleanup
- Refactor runner into a class
- Refactor npbackup into package
- Adding missing typing
- Code is now formatted with black
- Code must now pass pylint and flake8
- Workaround for painfully slow sg.TreeData window.close()

- First open public release
- Refactor GUI so actions become non-blocking
- Added loader animation for gui events
- Added backup window with current state
- Added internationalization support (currently en and fr)
- Refactor restic.ls function to return a generator since restic ls command gives chunks of json, which is bad memory wise when parsing each chunk into a big list
- On Windows, "The cloud operation is not supported on a read-only volume." and "The media is write protected." errors will not make backup fail, see 4155

- Fix restic metrics when 0 bytes of data have been added to the repo
- Fix restoration must ignore case on Windows
- Fix backup_job variable substitution in config file
- Fix for ruamel.yaml global objects being modified out of current scope encrypting current config while saving
- Fix npbackup could not start when no config file was present
- Drastically improve ls operation speed by changing command_runner method from poller to monitor (no live output) except for backup operation
- Compiler:
- Compile python 3.7 and 3.10 targets so we also get to use Windows 7 which can't run python > 3.7
- Installer:
- Moved task creation process to npbackup so we can recreate tasks on systems where npbackup is already installed
