None -removes functions marked as deprecated in #10493
Summary of the issue:
Development cycle for 2021.1 has begun! This release aims to remove deprecated functions from the source code and various such functions were located in the
config
module.Description of how this pull request fixes the issue:
This PR removes:
config.hasUiAccess
andconfig.execElevated
which were added to maintain backwards compatibility in Add a script to oopen NVDA config directory #10493config.getConfigDirs
which was deprecated some time ago, was supposed to be removed during 2019.3 dev cycle in PR Remove functionality marked as deprecated #9603 but was apparently missedconfig.canStartOnSecureScreens
which is no longer useful as we do not support anything older than Win 7 and therefore every installed copy can start on secure screens.While at it I've also added some missing imports from typing to the config module.
Testing performed:
With git grep ensured that these functions are not used anywhere in the source code.
