YAML isn't part of the Python standard library, while JSON is.
If we want `setup.py` to dynamically parse the available integration
manifest files in order to populate the extra dependencies, then it's
better to rely on a JSON format for manifest files - the parser is part
of the standard library and it doesn't require the user to install
`pyyaml` before `platypush`.

Added an `add_dependencies` plugin to the Sphinx build process that
parses the manifest files of the scanned backends and plugins and
automatically generates the documentation for the required dependencies
and triggered events.
This means that those dependencies are no longer required to be listed
in the docstring of the class itself.
Also in this commit:
- Black/LINT for some integrations that hadn't been touched in a long
time.
- Deleted some leftovers from previous refactors (deprecated
`backend.mqtt`, `backend.zwave.mqtt`, `backend.http.request.rss`).
- Deleted deprecated `inotify` backend - replaced by `file.monitor` (see
#289).

- If a Python optional dependency is available as a system package on
the target system, try and install it that route rather than pip. It's
usually faster and it decreases the risk of breaking system packages.
- Added support for apk dependencies in manifest files. This brings the
number of distros officially supported by all the extensions to four:
- Alpine
- Arch
- Debian
- Ubuntu
As the Mercury reader web API is deprecated, and the only available
implementation is the open source mercury-parser, node, npm and
@postlight/mercury-parser have to be added as dependencies for the
http.webpage plugin (or at least for the `simplify` action).
- Using `@action` annotation to indicate methods that are allowed to be
executed as actions
- The output and errors of an action are automatically wrapped into a
`Response` object without any response build required on the plugin side
