uic.compileUi for PySide2

[Winand]

I think compileUi can be added smoothly to uic module for PySide2 backend. pyside2uic is a part of PySide2 distribution and pyside2uic.compileUi has almost the same interface as PyQt's analogue.

Now I use monkey-patching in my project:

from qtpy import uic, API
if API.startswith('pyside'):
    import pyside2uic
    uic.compileUi = pyside2uic.compileUi

With PySide2 5.14.2.2 pytside2-uic was brought back, we had to re-incorporate it in pyqtgraph, you can see the diff too re-enable that in our abstraction layer here:
