ibus-pinyin: Crashes when opening Preferences

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

[ Impact ]

For two reasons any attempt to launch the Preferences menu results in a crash. Both issues have been addressed in the proposed upload.

[ Test Plan ]

On an updated Ubuntu 22.04 respective 23.04:

* Install ibus-pinyin from {jammy,lunar}-proposed
* Log out and log in again
* Go to Settings -> Keyboard and add "Chinese (Pinyin)"
* Find that you successfully can open Preferences

[ Where problems could occur ]

The fixes are standard python3 fixes, and should have been done long ago. Can't see any risk for adverse side effects.

Too close to EOL for kinetic.
