GnuCash broken, update to 3.7 required due to banking regulation

[Ben Bucksch]

The PSD2 banking regulation requires a 2-factor authentication to access my bank account. This took effect on Sept 14 (2019-09-14). Since then, users using HCBI with the affected mechanisms cannot use HBCI anymore.

*** I am locked out of by bank account ***

GnuCash 3.7 and the corresponding aqbanking 5.8.2 release apparently implement the relevant changes. This update in stable is *required* for the package to continue to function. The current release 2.6 in bionic no longer works.

Therefore, an emergency update for bionic (and preferably older stable releases as well) is required.

Ingo Haschler's GNUCash ppa works as a charm!

I've tested the gnucash / libaqbanking / libgwenhywfar and libchipcard packages offered by
Ingo Haschler andit works. Only some minor glitches so far due to a problem with character set recognition.
