Python QT6 migration begins.

I have started to migrate projects to PyQT6. In practice, this means that both PyQT6 and PyQT5 are supported by the same code. It all depends on what the user has installed. Projects also receive updates and UI changes during transitions.

List of already migrated projects:

Mini – A tiny terminal (curses) text editor

A new cli text editor has been released.

Generic Player 1.0 released

Generic Player 1.0 (PyQt6 / PyQt5 compatible) media player.

Screenshot: Default Style

A lightweight media player that continues the legacy of my now-obsolete Albix Player, rebuilt with a cleaner, more maintainable coding style.

Origins: Based on Albix Player (my original media player, now retired).

Lyrics: Provided via the external generic_player_lyrics module (show/hide only — no save/overlay UI).

MPRIS: Integrated via generic_player_mpris (requires python3-pydbus and playerctl).
