v1.26.0

What's Changed

This patch adds some bug fixes related to the ErrorBarItems of ArchiverPlotCurveItem widgets, and the added ability to reference start angle and span angles of PyDMDrawingArc based widgets with their widget-rules (for example, they can now be set by PVs). This update also adds some general maintenance patches to PyDM's setup and GitHub, a highlight being the switch from setup.py to pyproject.toml.

This update also adds a slew of changes that are needed for PySide6 support in PyDM. (Note that Pyside6 support is currently still in progress and will be fully enabled in a future release. Using Pyside6 will also be an optional feature and should not effect how PyDM currently uses PyQt5.)
