This is a huge configuration refactoring.
The configuration system now uses Pydantic settings, with better validation, better
support for environment variables and other goodies.
The main config files now use TOML instead of INI, this allow for better handling of
complex types, notably dict.
Plugins, components and frontends can declare their config settings in a class which will
be imported dynamically.
historically, Libervia (SàT before) was using camelCase as allowed by PEP8 when using a
pre-PEP8 code, to use the same coding style as in Twisted.
However, snake_case is more readable and it's better to follow PEP8 best practices, so it
has been decided to move on full snake_case. Because Libervia has a huge codebase, this
ended with a ugly mix of camelCase and snake_case.
To fix that, this patch does a big refactoring by renaming every function and method
(including bridge) that are not coming from Twisted or Wokkel, to use fully snake_case.
This is a massive change, and may result in some bugs.
