core: get rid of `pickle`: Use of `pickle` to serialise data was a technical legacy that was causing trouble to store in database, to update (if a class was serialised, a change could break update), and to security (pickle can lead to code execution). This patch remove all use of Pickle in favour in JSON, notably: - for caching data, a Pydantic model is now used instead - for SQLAlchemy model, the LegacyPickle is replaced by JSON serialisation - in XEP-0373 a class `PublicKeyMetadata` was serialised. New method `from_dict` and `to_dict` method have been implemented to do serialisation. - new methods to (de)serialise data can now be specified with Identity data types. It is notably used to (de)serialise `path` of avatars. A migration script has been created to convert data (for upgrade or downgrade), with special care for XEP-0373 case. Depending of size of database, this migration script can be long to run. rel 443

Those certificates are used to activate TLS for end-2-end testing (to be as
close as possible as production environment), they are used in other containers
needing TLS certificates (notably Prosody).

To generate them, minica has been used. Minica can be found at https://github.com/jsha/minica.

The following commands have been used:

$ minica --domains "server1.test,*.server1.test,server2.test,server3.test,libervia-backend.test,libervia-web.test"
$ chmod 0644 minica.pem server1.test/cert.pem && chmod 0640 server1.test/key.pem

Note that certificates are valid for 2 years and 30 days, so they must be renewed after this delay.
