* multiline questions.
* conditional questions.
* new toolkit for ui tests: pexpect.
* fix lots of tests.
* fix windows builds with newer poetry-dynamic-versioning.
* linters and mypy are now tests, to have faster ci.
* update deprecated ci commands.
* removed dependencies from old times.
* Remove toml 0.5+ syntax (dotted keys)
* Use powershell where syntax is compatible
* Change skip to xfail

- Add ignore comment on `BaseModel` instances that are correctly following what `pydantic` wants, to let flake8-bugbear be happy.
- Remove unused import.
This is a totally breaking PR. It had to come sooner or later...
Before this patch, copier had some ugly problems:
- If a file was called `--exclude`, you couldn't add it to `--extra-paths` due to using `nargs='*'` in an option. It is a weird thing that `ArgumentParser` allows to do, but can potentially lead to unfixable problems.
- Argument parsing was a little bit handycraft work.
Meet [Plumbum](https://plumbum.readthedocs.io/), the swiss army knife for CLI packages:
- CLI has been refactored as a plumbum application.
- Tests for CLI parsing removed, since they were incompatible and we are using a well-tested CLI parsing library now after all.
- The application now includes 2 subcommands: `copy` and `update`.
- If called without args, or with 1, it will use `update`.
- If called with 2 args, it will use `copy` (this preserves old usage unchanged, unless you are copying from a template called `copy` or `update`; in such corner case, just call it as `copier copy copy destination` instead).
- `copier --help` and `copier --help-all` are more useful now.
And you might be wondering... Adding such a big dependency just for that? Well, actually plumbum supports more than just CLI applications: supports sane execution of local & remote commands, sane output coloring, sane user prompting... Possibly it will make Copier go to the next level as we keep on using it more. Just take a look at its docs! You'll love it 😉
Of course, all that new CLI had to be reflected in API changes:
- `src_path` is now optional (`None` by default). In such case, copier will try to guess the `src_path` from the `.copier-answers.yml` file in the copy, or fail otherwise.
- `dst_path` is also now optional (`.` by default), meaning that without a `src_path`, you'll be trying to copy anything else to current `$PWD`.
- The builtin `_log` variable, which contains all necessary data for copy updates, now has also a `_src_path` key that points to the original source. This only happens when it was copied from a git repo or from an absolute path in the local disk, as relative paths are not easily reproducible in next updates (they depend on the user's CWD when running copier).
- A new `original_src_path` variable goes around, indicating the git repo or abs system path passed to `src_path` on the initial call. This is just to be stored in `_log` as explained.
```bash
copier gh:example/template destination
cd destination
echo my changes >> anywhere
git commit -m changing .
copier # Equals to `copier update .`
git commit -m 'copier update' .
```
🎉 You're updated!
This is an importan step to complete #88.
