We poll the fx rate provider every 2.5 minutes (unchanged).
Previously if there was any error during a tick, there was no fx rate
available in the client until the next tick.
Now, instead, we keep the last rates received with a 10 minute expiry.
One potential drawback is that previously there was instant feedback
to the user when e.g. changing proxy settings, and this is no longer
the case. E.g. consider a provider that bans Tor exit nodes. If a user
enables using a Tor proxy in the network settings, the fxrate used to
disappear immediately - but now the cached rate would still be
available.
* Update make_libsecp256k1.sh
Avoid error when parent folder has spaces `./make_libsecp256k1.sh: line 31: cd: too many arguments`
* Avoid error when parent folder has spaces, fix for make_libsecp256k1.sh, make_zbar.sh and make_libusb.sh

Change Docker base images from Ubuntu to Debian, and use `snapshot.debian.org` as apt source list.
Ubuntu occasionally removes version-pinned packages from apt (see #7484), which
- breaks historical reproducible builds
- introduces maintenance burden as we have to update the version pins
Hopefully this change fixes both issues.

This reverts commit 0c2a885c66.
Reverting for now due to reproducibility issues:
```
error: /Users/vagrant/Downloads/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/codesign_allocate: can't open file: /tmp/electrum_compare_dmg/signed_app/Electrum.app/Contents/MacOS/libffi.8.dylib (No such file or directory)
```
`Electrum.app/Contents/MacOS/libffi.8.dylib` is included when building on one machine, but missing on the other...
Will have to investigate later.

We now distribute two tarballs, a "normal" one (the default, recommended for users),
and a new strictly source-only one (for Linux distro packagers).
The normal tarball, in addition to including everything from
the source-only one, also includes:
- compiled (`.mo`) locale files (in addition to source `.po` locale files)
- compiled (`_pb2.py`) protobuf files (in addition to source `.proto` files)
- the `packages/` folder containing source-only pure-python runtime dependencies
