Fix bugs for old modes

Import Notes for Pyarmor prior to 8.0

In future only bug fix for old commands, no new features for old commands.

The old commands obfuscate, licenses etc. still could be used, but there have some changes.

There are 3 cases for old users after Pyarmor 8.0 is released:

1. Never upgrade to 8.0+

• SPP mode doesn't work

  In order to use SPP mode, it's necessary to upgrade Pyarmor to 8.0+

• Command pyarmor register without any argument return 404 error

  It is used to query registration information in old Pyarmor, but now license server doesn't serve this web api.

  Instead use pyarmor -v to make sure it's not trial version.

• Registering Pyarmor by pyarmor register pyarmor-regcode-xxxxxx.txt can be used no more than 10 times

  In order to use Pyarmor in new machine, CI server or docker, check the second method described in the registration file "pyarmor-regcode-xxxxxx.txt":

  Downloading "pyarmor-regfile-xxxxxx.zip" once, use this `.zip` file to register Pyarmor later.
  

2. Upgrade to 8.0 but only use old features

By default, command pyarmor only accepts new commands, there are 3 ways to use old commands such as obfuscate, licenses:

• Use pyarmor-7 instead pyarmor
• Export environment variable PYARMOR_CLI=7, then still use pyarmor
• Any way to call entry point pyarmor.pyarmor:main_entry

3. Upgrade to 8.0 and use new features

• Follow new EULA of Pyarmor. It's a big change for old personal license, because new license only allows one proudct.

• Not all old licenses could be upgraded to new license freely, refer to
  Pyarmor licenses

• The old commands need not internect connection, but new command need

• The old commands support Python 2.7~3.10, but new command only support Python 3.7+
