Subject: [PATCH] Bump the minimum supported Python version to 3.6.8
Python 3.2 is no longer tested by the buildfarm, and there are only a
handful of buildfarm animals running versions older than 3.6, which
itself went end-of-life in 2021. Python 3.6.8 is the default version
shipped in RHEL8, so that seems like a reasonable baseline for PG18.
Now that we use the Python Limited API as of 0793ab810, older versions
of Python should continue functioning for users of PL/Python in
particular, so soften the language from "required" to "supported".
