This allows more freedom than using releases from PyPI.
(atm there is no released version that fixes https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/pull/6701 )
Also, we now build the pyinstaller bootloader, just like in the windows build:
one fewer binary blob to trust.
- the windows build broke with 184e122c36
- upstream fix being pulled in is https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/pull/6701

Use refresh_row() for address, utxo and contact lists.
Replace unneeded calls to update_tabs() with refresh_tabs()
Fix right-click menu after selecting multiple addresses.
Swaps (both reverse and forward) are displayed in the list as a tree, which can be
expanded/collapsed. When expanded, double-clicking on any of the children (regardless
of child being LN or onchain), was interacting with the incorrect item (the first few
items in the top-level list).
Consider `self.tx_item_from_proxy_row(idx.row())`.
`idx.row()` is probably a small int, e.g. `0`, and `tx_item_from_proxy_row` is just
getting that item from the top-level list.
Note that the right-click>"View ..." context menu behaves correctly, so prior to
this commit it was inconsistent with double-clicking.
e.g. this text:
"This transaction requires a higher fee, or it will not be propagated by your current server. Try to raise your transaction fee, or use a server with a lower relay fee."
is too long for a single line.

We should delete `usr/lib/python3.9/config-3.9-x86_64-linux-gnu/` (which is 33M unpacked)
With py3.7 (electrum 4.1.5), this folder was named `config-3.7m-x86_64-linux-gnu`,
presumably because the default config to compile py3.7 was `--with-pymalloc`,
but maybe it is not for py3.9... ? not sure. (see https://peps.python.org/pep-3149/ )
The old and new behaviour is as follows:
1. "pyinstaller" case: portable `.exe`, other `.exe`s with `--portable`, and `.dmg` with `--portable`
- uses `$PWD`
- note that when you double-click the portable `.exe` on Windows, `$PWD` is set to the parent folder, i.e. the datadir gets put next to the `.exe`
2. appimage `--portable`
- was broken (see https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/5551)
- (CHANGED NOW to) uses `$PWD`
3. git clone
- next to `run_electrum`
4. unpacking `tar.gz` and running locally from it
- next to `run_electrum`
5. `pip install *.tar.gz`, and calling "electrum --portable" from terminal
- used python's user script directory
- `~/.local/bin/electrum_data`
- `$VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/electrum_data`
- (CHANGED NOW to) uses `$PWD`
That is, we now almost always put the datadir in `$PWD`,
except for the local source case, where we put it next to `run_electrum`.
The "appimage" case (2) is now fixed.
The only breaking change is re case 5 which previously behaved completely
unintuitively and most likely not in a useful way.
closes https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/7732
fixes https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/5551
pyinstaller 4.3 changed the value of `__file__`.
This change makes our behaviour independent of that pyinstaller change
(we always behave like old versions of pyinstaller).
fixes https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/7729
regression was introduced by b5951adc29
- rename `is_bundle` to `is_pyinstaller` (no semantic changes, just to clearer name)
- define `is_appimage`
- add comment to explain `is_local`
- its value is the same as before (but more explicit definition)
- define `is_git_clone`, and restrict DeprecationWarnings to that case

```
Note that `get_new_wallet_name` (os.listdir) can raise OSError,
and we were calling that on the main entrypoint codepath without exception-handling.
We were also calling it in the fallback codepath without exception-handling.
i.e. the GUI errored out on every startup for affected users, and without CLI usage
it was not possible to recover.
See testcase:
- imported wallet with addr1 and addr2
- three txs: tx1 funds addr1, tx2 funds addr2, tx3 spends all
- if we rm addr1 from the wallet,
- previously both tx1 and tx3 was removed (as tx3 is a child of tx1)
- now only tx1 is removed (tx3 still relates to the wallet via addr2)

Looks like this might be fixed in pyinstaller 4.3 (we are using 4.2):
https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/pull/5218
-----
While trying to update pyinstaller to have that fix, several issues found with versions 4.3-4.10,
now reported upstream and already fixed:
https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6338https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6339https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6686
So the pyinstaller commit pinned here is from the stable "v4" branch, some commits after the 4.10 tag,
which has fixes for the above issues.
with wine 6.0.2 and 6.0.3, cpython 3.9.11 fails to install (but cpython 3.9.10 worked)

btw, related note:
After changing the Dockerfile, building the docker image from cache failed. Setting ELECBUILD_NOCACHE=1 fixed it:
```
E: Could not configure 'libc6:i386'.
E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'libgcc-s1:i386'. Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)
