This change replaces the simple lists and dictionaries
defined in brother_ql/devicedependent.py with data class
definitions based on attrs. They are split into two
new modules:
* brother_ql/models.py and
* brother_ql/labels.py.
To keep the compatibility with other software relying on
this package, the old brother_ql/devicedependent.py module
can still be imported. Its content is recreated with the
help of the new modules in some _populate_legacy_structures()
functions.
There is a big problem with this commit - it only works with:
* Python 3.5 and later due to
type hints being introduced with
PEP-484 https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/
lead to syntax errors on earlier versions.
* (even worse) only with Python 3.6+ due to
PEP 526 variable annotations (introduced in 3.6)
needed by dataclasses too.
We aim, however, at Python 2.7 compatibility with this project.
So after all, I reverse the commit and will implement the changes
in a different way.
