[lldb] Make Python >= 3.8 required for LLDB 21

As decided on https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-lets-document-and-enforce-a-minimum-python-version-for-lldb/82731.

LLDB 20 recommended >= 3.8 but did not remove support
for anything earlier. Now we are in what will become
LLDB 21, so I'm removing that support and making
>= 3.8 required.

See https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/apiabiversion.html#c.PY_VERSION_HEX for the format
of PY_VERSION_HEX.
