Deprecate / remove support for Python 3.8 #10817

Description

Code improvement description

Python 3.8 is now EOL'd by upstream:

So we should probably:

  1. Pick a "drop" date when we officially drop support for it
  2. Publish the deprecation blog post
  3. Within dependabot-core add it to the Python deprecated versions so it triggers a warning on the jobs.
  4. At some point once that deprecation date passes, we can actually delete it...

My personal opinion: I think we should move quickly to deprecate it with an aggressive "unsupported" date, but other than that it's okay if we're a little slow to actually delete the 3.8 code... just so long as we no longer guarantee support for it.
