Bugfix Release

- Fix regression introduced with narrowing of characterset for strings. Reported by utkonos in https://github.com/plyara/plyara/issues/154

**NOTE**: This regression was discovered due to progress in a major testing project for plyara tracked in 146. If you want to help, testing those rule repositories and opening issues for any crashes or inconsistencies would be a great help to the project overall.

Unit Tests

- Unit test coverage is now 100% in the following modules. Reported by utkonos in https://github.com/plyara/plyara/issues/138

- The following functions need a maintainer to clean them up and write 100% unit tests:
- `utils.generate_hash`
- `rebuild_yara_rule`

Deprecations

- `utils.is_valid_rule_name` is deprecated because the parser handles rule name validation now. Function will be removed in version 2.3.
- `utils.is_valid_rule_tag` is deprecated because the parser handles tag name validation now. Function will be removed in version 2.3.
- `utils.detect_imports` is deprecated because imports are now properly reported in each rule by default. Function will be removed in version 2.3.
- `utils.detect_dependencies` is deprecated because imports are now properly reported in each rule by default. Function will be removed in version 2.3.

Removed
