What does this PR do and why is it necessary?

Python 3.7 has reached its End of Life state. It's no longer maintained. Newer versions provide bug fixes and improvements that can make the code easier to maintain. More information on Python versions lifecycle here:

https://devguide.python.org/versions/

How was it tested? How can it be tested by the reviewer?

• I ran the tests locally;
• I ran all the CI workflows in my fork;
• I made a new test for removed workaround needed for 3.7;
• I checked that the bug needed the workaround is fixed in version 3.8 using Python online compiler;

Any background context you want to provide?

What's new in Python 3.8: https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.8.html

What are the relevant tickets if any?

None

Screenshots (if appropriate)

The workaround for datetime.fromtimestamp is no longer needed.

Further notes

Since the PR reduces the range of supported Python versions by OctoPrint, I'd consider this as breaking changes targeting next major version of the product (OctoPrint 2.0)

[cp2004]

This is not the kind of change we can do without any sort of discussion. 60% of active OctoPrint installs still use Python 3.7 because that's the version on Debian Buster and they don't re-flash their OS that often. We definitely can't do this right now, and not without some kind of communication to users to upgrade their Python version.

We definitely can't do this right now

I understand. But when you will be ready for this change, the work will already be done. Consider this as a gift to the future version of yourself, @cp2004 🎁

I converted this to draft status, since as already mentioned that is something we cannot currently merge, and it will be some time before that changes, during which this certainly will become outdated and require more work to be up-to-date again.

Thank you in any case!
