bitbake: bitbake: Bump minimum python version requirement to 3.8

Most of our older distros with python older than 3.8 already need buildtools
tarballs apart from Ubuntu 18.04. 3.8 allows us to fix a few things, tidy
code in places and is widely available or can be obtained with buildtools.
Therefore update our minimum version to 3.8.
