Remove support for Python 2

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/cclauss/drop-legacy-Python into master

Closes: #25789 (closed)

Python 2 died one year ago so let's only support the currently supported versions of CPython: https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches

Roughly corresponds with nodejs/node-gyp#2300 and nodejs/gyp-next#88

There is much more that could be done to simplify and modernize code paths given that Python 2 support is removed but this represents a solid start that disables booting under end-of-life versions of Python.
