Update required python version

[d3x0r]

Configure scripts use := operator now, which requires python 3.8.

File "tools/gyp/pylib/gyp/common.py", line 435
if CC := os.environ.get("CC_target") or os.environ.get("CC"):

Python 3.6 is still officially supported

node/configure

Line 28 in f9f9a42

acceptable_pythons = ((3, 13), (3, 12), (3, 11), (3, 10), (3, 9), (3, 8), (3, 7), (3, 6))

I guess we should update that.

Hey, @d3x0r, are you still planning to add the parts that @lpinca mentioned?

FWIW there are also merge conflicts.

[d3x0r]

I can't do much more than start this - if someone wants to start a new PR or take over this one that'd be better, I'm sure there's lots of small details I don't know about.

[avivkeller]

No worries! I'll update the required files later today

#54358 has all the changes needed. @d3x0r has been marked as a Co-Author.
