Subject: [PATCH] build: drop support for Python v3.7 and v3.8

- allows for adoption of PEP639 (about license info in package metadata).
- deleted dummy setup.py since it was only there for archaic versions of Python (and corresponding pip versions).

Note, Python v3.9 is still supported, but it just reached End-of-Life.
