Python 3.7 has been end-of-life since 2023-06-27, and an increasing amount of our dependencies are dropping support for it as a consequence.
We introduced a warning to users that are still using Python 3.7 with release v1.86.0 around August 1, 2023.
We are now effectively dropping support for Python 3.7.

Re-roll of #4239, which was reverted because the build & release pipeline failed. After some investigation this was because the job used a superchain image with python3.7. However after this change a minimum version of python 3.8 is required.
BREAKING CHANGE: jsii-pacmak and the libraries it generates for Python targets now require a minimum Python version of 3.8, instead of 3.7 previously. We recommend users upgrade to the latest supported Python release (Python 3.11).
