This is the time of the year Apple breaks our mac builds, as usual.
mac now has its own "binaries" requirements. This allows us to use
an older version of PyQt5 in the mac binaries. For some reason
if we bundle newer PyQt5, the built app will not start on macOS 11
(but will on older macOS).

Create a pyinstaller "onedir" executable instead of a "onefile" executable.
Note that the name change from "Electrum" to "run_electrum" affects the
name of the internal binary (usually not exposed to users). This is
needed to avoid a collision with the "electrum" folder inside the .app
(just like in the source tree).

All (incl indirect) dependencies are already listed in deterministic-build/requirements*.txt.
This option makes it easier to manually rm a dependency from that list for e.g. testing.
so we don't need pyrcc5, which is not deterministic,
and so we don't need the submodule for the icons

When bumping pyinstaller to 3.4, binary sizes had increased drastically.
The main reason seems to be that pyinstaller is pulling in "all" of qt.
