cgi is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.13

[merkys]

Python module cgi is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.13. There is a single occurrence of it being used in pycifrw source, in src/Programs/process-validate.py:

pycifrw/src/Programs/process-validate.py

Line 11 in 344f88f

import cgi

It would be nice to have cgi replaced before Python 3.13 is released.

I've added a comment to that file (a demonstration program) explaining that legacy-cgi should be installed. See commit 0eea3ae.

Indeed, legacy-cgi is now used as drop-in replacement for cgi in Debian.
