Allow building adapt with loose requirements

PureTryOut commented 3 years ago

Description of what the PR does, such as fixes # {issue number}

The adapt equivalent of https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core/commit/ff50c4b5ecffc0d81822d8efab404054ca52b492. This allows Linux distributions to ship adapt even though they have newer versions than specified in requirements.txt. Since distributions have to make sure for themselves that their packages work anyway, and this only happens when explicitely specified, this is safe to do. The user has to figure out problems themselves when they use this.

Description of how to validate or test this PR

In a clean virtual environment, run MYCROFT_LOOSE_REQUIREMENTS=1 python3 setup.py install and verify if the newest version of all dependencies are installed, rather than the pinned version.

We've removed all dependencies except six, which already uses a loose requirement. An interesting idea, though!

Oh sorry, you're right. It seems I was still working with the previous release :sweat_smile:
