pyRevit 5

[eirannejad]

Priority 1:

• branches: main-4 and develop-4 for pyRevit 4* and main and develop for pyRevit 5 @eirannejad
• support for netcore (try to keep compatibility with netfx - maybe compile pyRevit to netstandard2) @dosymep
• performance: pyrevit dotnet runtime no longer to compile at Revit launch @eirannejad

bin/
bin/netfx/
bin/netfx/engines
bin/netcore/
bin/netcore/engines
bin/pyrevit.exe <- `netcore`

• purge old ironpython engines @sanzoghenzo

Priority 2:

• performance: faster extension parsing (dotnet extension) (Bundler library)
• performance: rewrite ui builder in dotnet so it is faster

@dosymep
I also moved all the pyrevitlib/pyrevit/runtime/*.cs files into dev/pyRevitLabs.PyRevit.Runtime. We need to:

• setup pyRevitLabs.PyRevit.Runtime to build these csharp files into netstandard
• setup pyrevitlib/pyrevit/runtime/__init__.py to not compile these files anymore and just load the assembly and provide access to the types

@eirannejad, I created draft-pr #2088

[jmcouffin]

I just fixed dependabot to work against the develop-4 branch for now
