Should switch to Python 3 and PyQt5/Pyside2

Python 2.x will no longer be supported by their upstream developers in 2020. Thus Debian developers are actively removing Python 2 support in Debian Testing with the goal of getting rid of Python 2 in Debian 11 (bullseye).

This is affecting Kali and hexorbase is part of Kali. That's why we would like to see a version of hexorbase ported to Python 3.

Qt4 has also been obsoleted a while ago, so the application also needs to be updated for Qt5, using either PyQt5 or Pyside2.
