<description>This update for python-sip provides the following fixes:
- Fixed the handling of non-pointer object variables so that they are only wrapped
once and the Python object cached.
- Fixed a regression in the handling of static non-pointer object variables.
- Fixed the /KeepReference/ function annotation when applied to static functions.
- The PyQt4 and PyQt5 specific data structures are now completely separate in
preparation for the signal changes needed by PyQt5.
- Renamed the PyQt4Flags and PyQt4NoQMetaObject annotations so that they are not
PyQt4 specific.
- Implemented the PyQt5 signal emitters.
- Add a space between "const" and the variable name for multi-const types in
generated code.
- Added the /NoSetter/ variable annotation. In order to not generate code that
changes values of const variables.
- Changed the handling of timelines so that the latest version is enabled if no
known version is explicitly enabled.
- Added the -B option to sip to allow timeline backstops to be defined.
