Improve Python Support (#567)

- Reduce requirements for the python build.
- Fix version number.
- Generate type hints for *.pyi files.
- Make functional for sip-build
- Reduced the unnecessary depth of the package.

NOTE: This is a breaking change for python users, where, `from PyQtAds import QtAds` is changed to `import PyQtAds as QtAds`( or simply `import PyQtAds`)
