Convert exec_ calls to exec and remove compat checks

Note: This change breaks support for Qt4 and older versions of Qt5.
exec_ was a reserved keyword in python 2, its not in python 3. PyQt6 has
dropped support for exec_ and its deprecated in PySide6. Modern Qt5 supports both.

This requires disabling py2-3 compatibility checking as modernize doesn't
like using `exec` as a object property.

I'm also removing the compileall check as it's assumed that the linting
flake8/black checks will cover checking for syntax errors.
