Consider move to Pyside6?

I updated to pyside6 on this branch: https://github.com/paskino/qt-elements/tree/pyside6

When I try to run examples I get an error:

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "windows" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

If I install from pip I have no problems. I believe this is because it gives me also:
PySide6-Addons-6.4.1 PySide6-Essentials-6.4.1 shiboken6-6.4.1

I can't get any of these from anaconda

[lauramurgatroyd]

Pip seems to get these for me automatically if I make a conda environment and then pip install eqt, as long as I don't do --no-deps

[lauramurgatroyd]

So maybe the conda recipe would work as long as we make sure we pip install in there?

[lauramurgatroyd]

I'll make a local conda build and install to test what happens

[lauramurgatroyd]

It doesn't work, it seems running pip install in the conda recipe still doesn't get me the needed packages from pypi

We added a new constrain on python to be <3.12. The goal is to remove this constrain in the future, probably by upgrading to pyside6. See #161 by @jcornall
