fix: Drop Python 2 support (#826)

Cloud NDB is one of the final Cloud Client libraries to
support Python 2 and retaining support for it will prevent
us from updating to the newest version of the underlying
Datastore libraries.

Not considering this a breaking change because pip will respect
python_requires in setup.py and not install a version that doesn't
support it anymore.
