Drop support of python 2 and make the code compatible with python 3 so that the add-on works on Kodi 19.
Update Kodistubs version in the CI and get rid of the python 2 actions.
Note: script.module.libtorrent is disabled because it will not be used on Matrix (and is not compatible).
It will be replaced by vfs.libtorrent[1] when ready.

While adding the German translation some encodings errors occurred due
to non-ASCII characters. Only these errors were fixed because a full
analysis of the strings will be performed when implementing support for
python3.
* Localize all the strings so that the whole add-on can be translated
(menus, notifications, etc.)
* Translate all the strings into French
* Add advice for future translators in the contribution guidelines
* List the supported languages in the README and a link to the
translation guidelines
* Rearrange the parts of the README to have the most used information at
the top
New features:
* Add the description of each video and each instance. The total number
of local videos and users of an instance are also added to the
description of the instance in Kodi.
* Add the total number of pages in the "Next page" item (+ fix the
number of the current page)
* Display a notification when the download of the torrent starts (will
help the user to know that something is going on, especially on slow
machines)
* Support instance URL that are prefixed with "https://" in the settings
Internal changes:
* Create a smaller entry point file to match Kodi's best practices
(main.py)
* Create a new main module (addon.py) containing only the code related
to the add-on execution. The other lines of code were moved to the
classes PeerTube or KodiUtils.
* KodiUtils is now a class and an instance of this class is made
available to all the modules of the add-on to reuse easily its methods
and attributes.
* Create helper functions in KodiUtils for creating items in Kodi UI
easily
See merge request StCyr/plugin.video.peertube!17 for more information
The PeerTube class is responsible for providing methods to call easily
the PeerTube REST APIs.
Other changes:
* the video filter is now also used when searching videos
* in case of error when sending a request, the message from the response
is displayed on the screen (even when listing the instances)
* all the debug messages are now prefixed with the name of the add-on
directly in kodi_utils: it allows an easier usage of this function
anywhere in the add-on
* first version of the design of the add-on added in contributing.md
See merge request StCyr/plugin.video.peertube!14 for more information
The URL of the video is not stored in the same attribute of the response
if WebTorrent is enabled or not.
It caused a bug when trying to play a video which do not use WebTorrent.
Also create a "quality" job to run pylint automatically on merge
requests. The contributing guidelines are updated with this information
and the remaining pylint violations were fixed in the code.
See merge request StCyr/plugin.video.peertube!11 for more information
When a new instance was selected from the list of instances, it had no
effect because the new instance URL was saved in an attribute that was
reset at the next call of the add-on.
Now when the user selects a new instance, the associated setting is
updated so that this value can be reused the next time the add-on is
called or started.
Also took this opportunity to refactor the access to the add-on's
settings: there are now wrapper methods in kodi_utils.py which
encapsulates the call to Kodi APIs to make the code simpler.
See merge request StCyr/plugin.video.peertube!10 for more information
Libtorrent is required to play videos but its installation is still
manual so now a message is displayed when libtorrent could not be
imported instead of having a "service could not start" error at Kodi
startup.
The message contains a link to a page which explains how to install
libtorrent. It will be displayed when:
* the add-on starts
* the user selects a video to play (including when called externally)
Other additions:
* Create a kodi_utils module to centralize some calls to the Kodi API
* Add license information in the header of the files
* Ignore some files in Git (python cache and Mac OS system file)
