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

Consider this trace for 4.2.0:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "electrum/util.py", line 504, in get_new_wallet_name
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/Users/admin/Documents/Peach/MS'
```
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)
$ ELECBUILD_NOCACHE=1 ./contrib/build-wine/build.sh
```
This is bumping the python versions bundled inside our binaries.
For macOS and AppImage, from 3.9.10 to 3.9.11.
For Android, from 3.8.12 to 3.8.13.
Windows is left untouched as I am having issues with the wine build when using 3.9.11.
(see https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/7721#issuecomment-1071901116 )
- rm the `_get_channel_ids` abstraction as each of its usages needs subtle differences.
Some code duplication is preferable in this case.
- raise exceptions in `wait_for_message`, so that callers such as the GUI can show user-feedback
- on_error/on_warning were dropping messages with temp_chan_ids if they were not stored in
`temp_id_to_id` - which was only done once the mapping was known (so the normal chan_id was known).
To fix this, we now store temp_chan_ids into `temp_id_to_id` early.
- `schedule_force_closing` only works if the chan_id is already in `channels`
