Summary

⚠️⬆️🛠️

Raise the minimum recommended Python version to 3.8 and warn users of deprecated versions and platforms. Add a new function _get_system_deprecation to update.py and use it in YoutubeDL.py. Update the changelog_override.json file to reflect the change.

To update the changelog, we strive
To inform users of Python 3.5
That they should upgrade soon
Or they'll miss the new boon
Of the _get_system_deprecation drive

Walkthrough

• Add a new function _get_system_deprecation to update.py that returns a deprecation message based on the current Python version and platform (link)
• Import the _get_system_deprecation function in YoutubeDL.py and use it to replace the previous version check and message (link, link)
• Add a manual entry to changelog_override.json to inform the users about the raised minimum recommended Python version and the deprecated platforms, and provide a link to the issue where the decision was discussed (link)

Python versions 3.7+ (CPython and PyPy) are supported. Other versions and implementations may or may not work correctly.

should also be updated imo
And perhaps also a few mentions in the wiki, but I don't have time to find them right now
