note: newer versions of pyinstaller (4.4+ ?) want to sign the bundle
themselves, in which case modifying the Info.plist file after
pyinstaller returns invalidates the sig.

note: I am not content at all with this monkey-patching approach,
but at the same time I don't see how to properly fix this handling all
edge-cases in aiorpcx.
python 3.11 is finally adding an implementation of TaskGroup [0] and
an async timeout context manager [1] in the asyncio module of the stdlib.
Looking at the implementations, they look unfeasible to backport:
much of the implementation of asyncio.Task had to be changed for them
to work, and TaskGroup in particular relies on the new ExceptionGroups.
Some of these edge cases we are battling with aiorpcx.curio look
difficult to fix without those stdlib changes...
Anyway, when we bump the min python to 3.11, I look forward to switching
to that code instead, and ripping this stuff out.

We poll the fx rate provider every 2.5 minutes (unchanged).
Previously if there was any error during a tick, there was no fx rate
available in the client until the next tick.
Now, instead, we keep the last rates received with a 10 minute expiry.
One potential drawback is that previously there was instant feedback
to the user when e.g. changing proxy settings, and this is no longer
the case. E.g. consider a provider that bans Tor exit nodes. If a user
enables using a Tor proxy in the network settings, the fxrate used to
disappear immediately - but now the cached rate would still be
available.
* Update make_libsecp256k1.sh
Avoid error when parent folder has spaces `./make_libsecp256k1.sh: line 31: cd: too many arguments`
* Avoid error when parent folder has spaces, fix for make_libsecp256k1.sh, make_zbar.sh and make_libusb.sh

Change Docker base images from Ubuntu to Debian, and use `snapshot.debian.org` as apt source list.
Ubuntu occasionally removes version-pinned packages from apt (see #7484), which
- breaks historical reproducible builds
- introduces maintenance burden as we have to update the version pins
Hopefully this change fixes both issues.

This reverts commit 0c2a885c66.
Reverting for now due to reproducibility issues:
```
error: /Users/vagrant/Downloads/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/codesign_allocate: can't open file: /tmp/electrum_compare_dmg/signed_app/Electrum.app/Contents/MacOS/libffi.8.dylib (No such file or directory)
```
`Electrum.app/Contents/MacOS/libffi.8.dylib` is included when building on one machine, but missing on the other...
Will have to investigate later.
