Rework python pset module (#1221)
New features ============ * Handle all syntax for ApplicableEntity as defined in IFC documentation. (drawback it increase request time by ~2/3) * Allow to get applicable psets directly from template definition without caching. This allow more general purpose usages. (drawback it increase request time by ~2.4) To notice / discuss =================== * `ifcwrap/CmakeLists` was installing only `.py` and `.bnf` files from `ifcopenshell-python`. Why ? It now copy all files. Is it an issue ? * property template file is now stored in ifcopenshell python module to allow usage from every softwares. It was before only available for blenderbim addon. * psets and qtos are now optionnally cached at object instead of module level. This allow to work with multiple schema in the same python interpreter. (eg. might help conversion between schemas) * in blenderbim addon psetqto are now stored in `schema.psetqto`.
