* Upper-bound frozendict dependency

This is an ugly kludge to solve
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15109. It is not the most
friendly thing to do for downstream packagers (apologies), but we are a)
running low on time at the moment, and b) seeking to remove frozendict
anyway.

ruff is a flake8-compatible Python linter written in Rust.
It supports the flake8 plugins that we use and is significantly
faster in testing.

PyYAML 3.13 fixes some issues with Python 3.7 compatibility
and was released in 2018.

Fixes #13655

This change uses ICU (International Components for Unicode) to improve boundary detection in user search.

This change also adds a new dependency on libicu-dev and pkg-config for the Debian packages, which are available in all supported distros.

The internal methods of the StreamChangeCache were inconsistently
treating the earliest known stream position as valid. It is now treated as
invalid, meaning the cache cannot determine if an entity at the earliest
known stream position has changed or not.
