Drop Python 3.7
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Given that, after the release of 103.0 LTS, we're now on track for
bigger chances, let's start by dropping Python 3.7 support.

There are a number of features that are available on Python 3.8 and
later only. One example is the availibility of importlib.metadata
stardand library, which we intend to use to replace pkg_resources (and
then setuptools as a whole).

As for Avocado users and important platforms, we're on a good position
such as QEMU already requiring Python 3.8, and CentOS Stream 9
shipping Python 3.9.18.
