Fbs Versions Save

This improvement is only included in fbs Pro.

fbs Pro users had no easy way to install fbs Pro in buildvm virtual machines. This release fixes this: You can now add fbs_pro.tar.gz into requirements/ and add fbs_pro.tar.gz to requirements/base.txt to have it installed in the VM.

Commands such as fbs buildvm ubuntu were plagued by several problems due to outdated Python and OS versions. This release fixes this.

Specifially, building for Python 3.9.7 gave:

/root/.pyenv/plugins/python-build/bin/python-build: line 1730: patch: command not found
BUILD FAILED (Fedora 25 using python-build 20180424)

The following warning was shown when installing fbs:

DEPRECATION: fbs is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install'
method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package
is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible
replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found
at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559".

This release fixes this.

fbs Pro now gives much more helpful error messages on Windows. This saves developers time when installing necessary dependencies, for example.
