What does this PR do? What is the motivation?

Updates the "Minimum Datadog Agent" value for the >=4.0,<5 release branch in the Python Compatibility Requirements release table from 7.28 to 7.63.0.

The v4 migration guide (tracing/trace_collection/automatic_instrumentation/dd_libraries/migrate/python/v4) documents that ddtrace v4 requires Datadog Agent v7.63.0 or newer, but the release table on the Python Compatibility Requirements page still listed 7.28 for v4. This corrected the discrepancy so the table matches the documented v4 requirement. The >=3.0,<4 and >=2.0,<3 rows are left at 7.28, which reflects the historical minimum for those older majors.

The 7.76.1 figure is a recommendation tied to auth parameter
obfuscation, not a hard minimum requirement to run the tracer.
