Under some circumstances it's possible that the user manages to select
a directory instead of a kmp file, or manually enters a non-existing file.
Is used to throw an error that we caught on Sentry; the user was able to
continue to use the app. This change now checks for a valid file before
trying to install the kmp file.

Fixes: KEYMAN-LINUX-99
With this change it's possible to build Keyman from the source tarball
by running `./build.sh` from the Keyman root directory.
When building Keyman as part of the Ubuntu/Debian packaging, we don't use
the toplevel `build.sh` file but instead call the build scripts in the
subdirectories. This omits building some components that are currently
not needed for running Keyman for Linux. The `dist.sh` script only
includes the necessary files in this case, distinguished by the `origdist`
parameter. This results in a significantly smaller tarball (2.5MB vs 51MB).
This change also enhances the `generate_tar_ignore_list` function so that
it is now possible to add `build` to the exclude list to ignore all
`build` subdirectories.

This change adds the verification of the options to the baseline tests
and fixes persisting the options. Previously we treated the UTF-16 key
and value as UTF-8 so that only the first character got persisted.

This change adds a manual test that allows to see if all strings are
localizable. It also fixes the `update-template` target in the

chore(linux): replace deprecated `parse_version`
`pkg_resources` which contains `parse_version` is deprecated. Latest versions output a warning. This change uses the suggested replacement, `package.version.parse` which is available in all supported Ubuntu versions.
Fixes: #14957
fix(linux): use `ibus` command to restart ibus
When using Kubuntu exiting ibus sometimes used to hang (#10178). This was because ibus' `bus.exit()` doesn't shutdown properly (see https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2816#issuecomment-3410473708). The recommended way is to use the `ibus exit` command. Since we no longer use the API we can directly use the `ibus restart` command, which this PR implements.

test(linux): add regression tests for cli tools to autopkgtests 🍲
This change adds tests that execute km-package-install, km-package-list-installed, and km-package-uninstall and verifies the results. We have two sets of tests, for both gnome-shell and ibus-proper environments.
fix(linux): install schema during `keyman-config/build.sh install`
- improve documentation for installing km-config
- install schema during `keyman-config/build.sh install`
- remove schema during `keyman-config/build.sh uninstall`
- improve two scenarios when running `keyman-config/build.sh install`:
- on newer Ubuntu versions it's no longer possible to directly install Python packages, so we have to use a virtual environment. This change detects a virtual environment and installs into that.
- detect if we're running directly as `root` user instead of `sudo` and explicitly install into `/usr/local`.
- remove obsolete targets from Makefile. `make deb` no longer worked, so this change removes it. The other removed targets in the Makefile were just calling `./build.sh` and so are not really necessary and not used.
- update packaging documentation

fix(linux): fix installing keyboard in shared area 🍲
Installing into the shared area (`/usr/local/share`) requires `root` permissions, so in order to install into the shared area the user has to call `km-package-install` with `sudo`. But we also want to add the keyboard to the user's list of available keyboards so that he can switch to it. That needs to be done in the user context. However, when `sudo` ran the command in the user context, the environment variables to connect to the user's session dbus were not set.
This change fixes this by passing `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` along with the `sudo -u <user>` call. Since `root` doesn't have this variable set (or at least not pointing to the user's dbus), we construct the dbus address based on the user's uid.
On newer Ubuntu versions (>=25.04) we also have to set `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`, at least when running the autopkgtests.

refactor(linux): remove no-longer-needed Python 3.7 code
Our oldest supported Ubuntu version is 22.04 which comes with Python 3.10, so we can remove the code for Python 3.7.
This improves two scenarios when running `keyman-config/build.sh install`:
- on newer Ubuntu versions it's no longer possible to directly install
Python packages, so we have to use a virtual environment. This change
detects a virtual environment and installs into that.
- detect if we're running directly as `root` user instead of `sudo`
and explicitly install into `/usr/local`.

When running `km-package-install` with `sudo`, cache files owned by
root get created in the users directory. This makes it harder to
replace, and if the user tries to install the keyboard again under his
user account, installation will fail. This change prevents the use
of the cache when running with `sudo`.

When using a different DBus implementation `dbus-launch` might not exist,
but instantiating a `SessionBus` object might start a session dbus if
it's not already running. This change also replaces the `dbus-x11`
dependency with `default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus` and changes
the way we detect if dbus is already running.
Also remove `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` from `sudo gsettings` call. It
turns out we don't need this since we execute the `gsettings` command
in the context of the user anyway which connects to the user's session
dbus.

This change suppresses the output of ending the processes started for
the test run. The output doesn't help much but clutters the overall
output and shows up as warnings on TC.
