feat: remove support for Python 3.7, require 3.8 or higher

JohnVillalovos · nejch · commit 058d5a56c284 · 2023-08-19T08:25:46.000+02:00
Python 3.8 is End-of-Life (EOL) as of 2023-06-27 as stated in https://devguide.python.org/versions/ and https://peps.python.org/pep-0537/ By dropping support for Python 3.7 and requiring Python 3.8 or higher it allows python-gitlab to take advantage of new features in Python 3.8, which are documented at: https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.8.html BREAKING CHANGE: As of python-gitlab 4.0.0, Python 3.7 is no longer supported. Python 3.8 or higher is required.
