BinaryOrNot installs on Python 3.10+ instead of 3.12+. The code uses no 3.12-specific features, so lowering the floor is safe. All 213 tests pass on 3.10 through 3.14. Cookiecutter requires Python >= 3.10, and Plone's scaffolding tool (cookieplone) depends on Cookiecutter. With requires-python >= 3.12, pip refused to install binaryornot on 3.10/3.11, breaking the entire chain. Thanks to @wesleybl for raising this via #634.

With this PR, BinaryOrNot installs on Python 3.10+ instead of 3.12+. All 213 tests pass on 3.10 through 3.14.
Honestly it hurts my heart quite a bit to lower the range. I was excited to use modern Python features like in #644, and to bump Cookiecutter itself to 3.12+. Supporting legacy Pythons is not something I enjoy or have free time for in my current situation, but I guess I'll do it for now 😿
I am doing this because @wesleybl raised this and because I like cookieplone. It gives me a lot of inspiration for the scaffolding tools I've been planning to build for https://github.com/feldroy/air. I'll merge this for now, then let's figure out a better solution somehow. Cookieplone folks, which specific users of yours are on 3.10 and 3.11? I'd like to really understand their use case for old Pythons.
