Louis Gesbert cf2e80ba51 Refactor Python dependency handling
* Use the newer "pyproject.toml" for syntax highlighters
* Use venv for everything (previously, the pygment lexers were installed
  globally, but more recent Python releases frown upon that. This will probably
  be more stable in the long run...)
* Use one venv at the root of the project (`_python_venv/`) for both
  pygments and the runtime
* Initialise this venv automatically from the Makefile (it should no longer be
  necessary to run scattered `set_up.sh` scripts with mysterious interactions)

On the downsides, though:
* Only tested with Python 3.11 at the moment
* Need to remember to activate the venv (`. _python_venv/bin/activate`) from the
  root for e.g. HTML literate output to work. A more manageable solution could
  be for Catala to provide the lexers on-the-fly when calling `pygmentize`.

French Law Libraries

This folder presents a working example of how Catala could be distributed and deployed inside existing applications. Each sub-folder is specialized for a particular programming language, and features a ready-to-use library of all the French public algorithms coded up using Catala so far.

General principles

Let us say you want to deploy a Catala program inside an application written in programming language X. The Catala compiler will translate the source Catala program into X, yielding a new .x source code file. This .x file will export functions corresponding to the scopes of the original Catala program. You can then reuse those exported functions in your application written in X.
