Ho, this one is going to be a nice cleanup in pylint's testutil / functional !

Yeah, I just caught that myself. Sorry! |

I'd probably have done that in multiple steps / PRs, like
- Update CI + do code changes to remove 3.8 special cases
- Update tests
- Update typing + ruff and pylint to 3.9.0
Might be easier to follow when reviewing it later, but this works the same.

In general, I do support removing support for 3.8. We could even do it fairly soon IMO. Maybe after the PEP 695 fix is merged and one last bugfix release created?
For pylint, we should just make sure to bump the minor version and update requires-python when we pull in the new astroid release. The code changes to remove 3.8 can follow later as well.

Great catch, look like we forgot to remove when dropping 3.7
3.8 is EOL in late October 2024, and 3.13 final is scheduled for early October 2024. Aiming for new minor releases of astroid and pylint by then to drop support for 3.8 and add support for 3.13.
