Update Python 3.7 deprecation message now it has reached EOL (#1460)

As of 30th June, Python 3.7 has reached end-of-life upstream:
https://devguide.python.org/versions/#supported-versions

This means there will be no new Python 3.7 patch versions released
upstream, so no security updates or bug fixes.

The existing buildpack deprecation message has been updated to
reflect this, and now also mentions that support for building Python 3.7
apps will be removed in October 2023.

In addition, the scripts and GitHub Actions workflows used to compile and
upload new Python runtime versions have been updated to drop support,
since there will be no new Python 3.7 releases for us to upload.
