Unofficial PyBitmessage port to run with Python3 and PyQt5

The official PyBitmessage still runs with outdated Python2 and PyQt4.

Recently, I'm trying to port PyBitmessage to run with Python3 and
PyQt5. Although it's unofficial version and still should have some
bugs, it seems now running as expected as long as I use it. I use
PyBitmessage mostly for communications on chans. One-to-one messaging
is not tested well since I have no friends at all.

The source code is published at GutHub:
https://github.com/kashikoibumi/PyBitmessage . The default branch
'py3qt' is most matured among other many branches.

If you try to use it, at first backup your PyBitmessage databases and
settings which are found $HOME/.config/PyBitmessage/ if you are using
Linux.

Any bug reports or comments are welcome.

I'm using it on Devuan GNU+Linux Daedalus which is mostly compatible to
Debian GNU/Linux bookworm except systemd utilizations. All dependencies
are installed from Devuan (Debian) packages.
