1. Drop Python 3.7 …

   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.
   
   For RPM builds, EL8 (in all its forms) are not going to be built
   anymore on CI.  This may change if the SPEC file is updated to support
   a conditional build using Python 3.8 for EL8, but that depends on the
   existence of all dependencies on that build, including
   python3-aexpect, which is not currently available.
