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
The most recent versions of ZwaveJS-UI don't send the `hexId` of the
node on node change events. We have therefore to infer it from the
reported `dbLink`.
The parent->child relationship is now modelled on the database itself,
so we no longer need value names specifically formatted as
`[DeviceName] ValueName` - the UI will take care of it.
- Infer entity types on the basis of their semantic type (bool, decimal,
list) and read-only attribute (read-only bool is `BinarySensor`,
read-write bool is `Switch`, read-only decimal is `NumericSensor`,
read-write decimal is `Dimmer`, etc.) instead of trying to infer it
from the command class. Only a small set of command classes (like
configurations, vendor-specific or internal values) will be excluded.
This should greatly increase the number of supported values.
- Added support for `EnumSwitch` entities.
- Added inference for illuminance and humidity sensors.
