Previous issue for Python 3.6: #28450

We dropped Python 3.6 support in pyarrow 7.0 (early 2022). If we follow the same pattern, we can drop 3.7 support for pyarrow 13 (so we can start doing it after the 12.0 release), since by the time of that release it should have reached end of life (https://endoflife.date/python)

@jorisvandenbossche jorisvandenbossche added this to the 13.0.0 milestone Mar 30, 2023

### Rationale for this change

Python 3.7 is End of Support on 27th June 2023. We can drop support for pyarrow 13.0.0.
See: https://endoflife.date/python

### What changes are included in this PR?

Remove support for 3.7. Update minimum required Python version and update some CI jobs to use the minimum Python supported version

### Are these changes tested?

They will be tested via Archery

### Are there any user-facing changes?

Yes in terms of not supporting older versions of Python. This will be a breaking change for some users but not for the API itself
* Closes: #34788
