[chirp_users] installing CHIRP-next problems

[Martin Cooper]

As of Python 3.10:

> Remove deprecated aliases to Collections Abstract Base Classes from the
collections module.

They were originally deprecated in Python 3.3, a long time ago. This means
that the old (and now archived) attrdict package no longer works, and needs
to be replaced with attrdict3, which correctly uses 'collections.abc'
instead of 'collections' for Mapping and similar classes.

I believe attrdict is being used by wxPython. Replacing it with attrdict3
should work, though I don't have the environment to try it myself.
