Pydm

------------------------
PyDM 1.7 is intended to be the final minor version in the 1.0 series. The next non-bugfix release will almost definitely be 2.0, which will be centered around big changes to the flow of data between PyDM plugins and widgets. This will allow us to support sources of _structured data_, where multiple pieces of data are all sent as a single structure. This will allow us to support a whole new set of control system protocols, like [EPICS7's PVAccess](https://epics-controls.org/resources-and-support/base/epics-7/).

This will be a big overhaul, and there will be some breaking changes to the way things work - mostly in the data plugin department, but a few other places too. We'll publish migration guides to help you get any custom data plugins and widgets you have up in running in 2.0. Another change to be aware of is that we will be ending support for Python2.7 - all v2.0-and-up releases will only support Python 3.6 and higher.

Our plan is to have a separate '2.0' branch of the PyDM repository available (probably with pre-release tagged versions) for a few months, and let the user community try it out before finally merging it in and releasing 2.0 proper. Stay tuned!

What's Changed
This patch adds a few new features to Base Plot and Archive Time Plot along with some bug fixes. We added labels on crosshairs for Time Plots, Archive Time Plots and Waveform Plots and fixed how crosshairs were working. We addressed an issue with dynamically switching a channel on a PyDMWidget.

This update also adds another slew of changes that are needed for PySide6 support in PyDM. _(Note that Pyside6 support is currently still in progress and will be fully enabled in a future release. Using Pyside6 will also be an optional feature and should not effect how PyDM currently uses PyQt5.)_

What's Changed

This patch adds some bug fixes related to the ErrorBarItems of ArchiverPlotCurveItem widgets, and the added ability to reference start angle and span angles of PyDMDrawingArc based widgets with their widget-rules (for example, they can now be set by PVs). This update also adds some general maintenance patches to PyDM's setup and GitHub, a highlight being the switch from setup.py to pyproject.toml.

This update also adds a slew of changes that are needed for PySide6 support in PyDM. _(Note that Pyside6 support is currently still in progress and will be fully enabled in a future release. Using Pyside6 will also be an optional feature and should not effect how PyDM currently uses PyQt5.)_
