🐈 Task: Drop support for Python 3.7

[DhanshreeA]

Summary

Python 3.7 is officially dropped from many packages that Ersilia depends on or makes use of in some capacity. The pressing one currently is poetry which now does not build with Python 3.7 and packages built with it may or may not work with Python 3.7 either.

Objective(s)

• Figure out what changes need to be made for dropping this support
• Removing tests concerned with Python 3.7

Hi @DhanshreeA

Is this linked to #944 ? When one is updated please reflect here as well

[DhanshreeA]

Required updates:

1. pyproject.toml needs updating for this in a few places, such as dependencies (validators, sphinx), and in Classifiers (ie supported Python versions)
2. In the tests_and_cleanup.yml workflow, install-ersilia, and test-docker jobs can do away with accounting for Python 3.7
