sanity: Bump minimum python version requirement to 3.9

Since Ubuntu 20.04 is heading to EoL and that we're having other issues
on that platform needing buildtools anyway, we're about to lose the
last python 3.8 platform we were supporting.

Bump the minimum version to 3.9 since there are many developers wanting
access to newer python features.

This likely won't be seen since the bitbake minimum has also been
increased but helps for documentation purposes.
