Resolves #304.

This improvement is only included in fbs Pro.

Specifically, this release makes errors of the following form less likely:

SignTool Error: The specified timestamp server either could not be reached or returned an invalid response.
SignTool Error: An error occurred while attempting to sign: C:\....

Commands such as fbs buildvm ubuntu were plagued by several problems due to outdated Python and OS versions. This release fixes this.

BUILD FAILED (Fedora 25 using python-build 20180424)

The following warning was shown when installing fbs:

DEPRECATION: fbs is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install'
method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package
is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible
replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found
at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559".
