Previously if there was a chain of exceptions, we were only
sending the traceback for the final exception.
E.g.
try:
raise ExcOne("asdasd")
except ExcOne() as e:
raise ExcTwo("qweqwe") from e
^ we would lose all info about ExcOne, including potentially many lines of trace

This commit ports the work of EchterAgo and cculianu from Electron-Cash,
to implement a new toolchain to scan qr codes.
Previously, on Linux and Win, we have been using zbar to access the camera
and read qrcodes; and on macOS we used CalinsQRReader (an objective-C
project by cculianu).
The new toolchain added here can use QtMultimedia to access the camera,
and then feed that image into zbar. When used this way, zbar needs
fewer dependencies and is easier to compile, in particular it can be
compiled for macOS.
The new toolchain works on all three platforms, with some caveats
(see code comments in related commits) -- so we also keep the end-to-end
zbar toolchain; but at least we can drop CalinsQRReader.
The related changes in Electron-Cash are spread over 50+ commits (several PRs and direct
pushes to master), but see in particular:

- fix kivy wizard restore-from-seed
- qt seed dialog: disable "next share" if current share is invalid
- fix tests: file paths should not depend on $PWD (working dir)
Previously if the wallet did not have a deterministic node id,
the wallet info dialog could say "lightning enabled, non-recoverable channels", but
the "recoverable channels" setting could be toggled and might even say "yes".
Beginner users often ask why they cannot send their full balance.
Hence, this intends to reduce support load.
In terms of UI, maybe there is a better way to do this but this was
easy to do and still a good first step IMHO.
Previously, during early-startup (until configure_logging(config) is
called in run_electrum),
- the stderr log handler lost all log messages below warning level, and
- the file log handler lost all log messages regardless of log level
We now instead start buffering log messages in memory as soon as
electrum.logging is imported. The buffer is dumped into the
stderr and file log handlers when they are fully set up, and then
the buffer is discarded (and the temporary log handler is removed).
Note that messages are not logged until configure_logging() is called.
Previously WARNING/ERROR messages would get logged immediately to stderr,
but not anymore. This was changed so that the order of the log messages
can be kept intact. (if we log WARNINGs immediately, but need to delay
INFOs until the config is available, messages would either be out of order
or alternatively there would be duplicates)
Relatedly, we now follow the recommendation of the python docs re
logging for libraries [0]: we try to only configure logging if running via
run_electrum (the main script) and not when e.g. a 3rd party script
imports electrum.
