Sync with 4.2.1

[n-elie]

Update to Qt-Advanced-Docking-System v4.2.1

This fixes #23 and #24 (_ads has to be renamed ads in init.py to get better error message when using wrong arguments of functions)

Also updated actions to remove deprecated node.js 16 warnings and updated cibuildwheel action to 2.16.5 because of pypa/cibuildwheel#1741. With actions/upload-script v4, artifacts are immutable, so a merge step is needed.

And updated custom-auditwheel script because auditwheel.policy does not have _POLICIES global anymore

@n-elie Thanks for your work in putting this together!

@mborgerson Is this planned to be merged and released to pypi soon? I would love to have the fixes from ADS 4.2.1 (releases) and PySide 6.6.2 (released Feb 15 release notes). Please let me know if you want any help to get this released!

@mliberty1 I'll take a look sometime this week and merge if all looks good. In the mean time feel free to help review and test the changes

I have been running the Joulescope UI with this pull request and PySide 6.6.2, built from my fork. I have tested on:

Windows 11 arm64, Python 3.11.8
macOS 14.3.1 x86-64, Python 3.11.7
macOS 14.3.1 arm64, Python 3.11.7

Everything is running great over the last 2 days with no regressions or crashes that I have seen. Rearranging docks widgets and save/restore on dock widgets works great.

I inspected the pull request, and it looks good to me.

I recently made very similar GitHub Actions changes to my repos. Those GitHub Actions changes look good, too. They built in my fork worked without any changes.

For the new enums, this runs correctly:

import PySide6QtAds as QtAds
print(QtAds.CDockManager.AutoHideHasMinimizeButton)
print(QtAds.CDockManager.AutoHideHasCloseButton)
print(QtAds.CDockManager.DisableTabTextEliding)

I wasn't quite sure how to test addAutoHideDockWidgetToContainer quickly, and I don't even see any example that uses this method in Qt-Advanced-Docking-System.

My opinion is to release. PySide 6.6.2 and Qt-ADS 4.2.0 & 4.2.1 have some critical fixes (especially for macOS) that are far more important than fully validating the addAutoHideDockWidgetToContainer binding.

@mliberty1 Thanks for testing!

Hmm.. this PR appears to update the submodule to v4.2.0 not v4.2.1. The fix is easy so I'll just merge and adjust the pointer. Also, in the future please avoid fixing unrelated issues together in a PR.

Thanks for the work @n-elie

@mliberty1 fyi release is pushed
