Fix report dialog error when no active person selected. Running a report from the reports dialog with no active person selected caused an error. Fixes #13020.

Fix issue with German relation calculator fixed issue when more than 24 generations between the two people.
Add file logging for macOS. When Gramps is launched from macOS's LaunchServices it doesn't have a sys.stderr attached so the default stream logger goes to /dev/null. Use a FileHandler in tht case, writing the log to $TMPDIR/gramps-pid.log. This will help particularly in analyzing crashes where python shuts down as there's no crash report in that case.

These conditions lead to the local variable short_name not being declared before it comes time to process death events.
Fix graphdoc to properly escape characters in ids for Graphviz.

Fix crash sorting on columns in Selectors with TreeModels.
Fix progress bar freeze due to changes in Gtk.

Further changes for bundling with Python 3.8.
Set __file__ if gramps_launcher.py is run as __main__.
Add geocode-glib to build.
Note: TLS changes have forced an update of gnutls that builds correctly only on macOS 13 or later. The minimum required is still macOS X 10.9 but libsqlite3 crashes during shutdown on 10.9. This appears to be harmless: all data are already written to the database, but macOS will put up an "unexpectedly quit" message and the database will be locked at start up. macOS X 10.11 and later seem not to be affected.
