    Add new class QualifiedSWHID to replace SWHID, and deprecate the latter. · 690b7f82
    vlorentz authored
    Following the discussion on T3034, we decided to replace SWHID with
    two or three classes:
    
    * QualifiedSWHID to replace the existing SWHID (standard types + qualifiers)
    * CoreSWHID, for "core SWHID" only (standard types + no qualifiers)
    * ExtendedSWHID for internal use in Software Heritage (extra types + no qualifiers)
    
    Since migrating from SWHID will break existing code, this commit uses
    the opportunity to modernize it a little, ie.:
    
    * `keyword`-only constructor, to get rid of the hacky default values for
      `object_type` and `object_id`
    * enum instead of strings for the object type
    * `bytes` instead of an hex string for the object id
    * rename `metadata` to `qualifiers`
