[platform] End support for Python 2 + Python 3.5 #601

Description

@hydrosquall

Python below 3.6 is failing various tests, and I don't see a compelling reason to keep supporting that in the next release. Python 2 was sunset over a year ago ( https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/ ). Thanks @RJTK for the suggestion.

Things we need to change to be able to do this

  • Remove the tests below 3.5 from github workflow testing matrix
  • Remove mentions of anything below python 3.6 in various metadata files (setup.py, etc)
  • Remove the part of the publishing process that builds a python 2.x distribution

Things this will unlock

Users who are unable to migrate past python 2 can continue to use the current release of Tiingo (0.13.0). If this becomes an issue for anyone, please leave a note in this thread and we'll see if we can recommend an alternate solution.
