Description

Follow up to #23, by adapting the [xdot viewer] with Python Qt bindings to use PySide2 and Python 3. It will probably need a separate repository to be compatible with GPL.

Adapt `cProfile` and `gprof2dot` from [another project], to generate call graphs with the slow calls highlighted, and display them with the xdot viewer.

[xdot viewer]: https://github.com/jbohren/xdot/blob/indigo-devel/src/xdot/xdot_qt.py
[another project]: https://github.com/cfe-lab/Kive/issues/632

Research direction

Start by reviewing follow-up issue #23 and the linked xdot viewer file, src/xdot/xdot_qt.py. Investigate how cProfile and gprof2dot are adapted in the linked Kive issue, including the PySide2 and Python 3 compatibility requirements. Done means call graphs are generated with slow calls highlighted and displayed in the xdot viewer, with the repository arrangement compatible with GPL.
