Description
Describe the bug
Installing CodeChecker
form pypi forces strict versions of this project's dependencies, this is not recommended by the Python Packaging User Guide.
It is not considered best practice to use install_requires to pin dependencies to specific versions, or to specify sub-dependencies (i.e. dependencies of your dependencies). This is overly-restrictive, and prevents the user from gaining the benefit of dependency upgrades.

To Reproduce
N/A
Expected behaviour
The python package published to pypi should only specify the minimal version required for its dependencies, rather than a hard dependency.

N/A
Additional context
The annoyance is most apparent if multiple packages would do this.
