The version of pyflakes that is listed in python/tests/minreqs.txt
breaks on Python 3.8 with the following message:
AttributeError: 'FlakesChecker' object has no attribute 'CONSTANT'
Now that we do not support EOL'd Python versions anymore, we can
update to newer, fixed versions. It is a good time to do so, before
Python packages start dropping support for Python 3.7 as well!
The new mypy is also a bit smarter about which packages are actually
being used, so remove the now-unnecessary sections from setup.cfg.

Python 3.6 was EOL 2021-12-31. Newer versions of upstream libraries have
begun dropping support for this version and it is becoming more
cumbersome to support. Avocado-framework and qemu.qmp each have their
own reasons for wanting to drop Python 3.6, but won't until QEMU does.
Versions of Python available in our supported build platforms as of today,
with optional versions available in parentheses:
openSUSE Leap 15.4: 3.6.15 (3.9.10, 3.10.2)
CentOS Stream 8: 3.6.8 (3.8.13, 3.9.16)
CentOS Stream 9: 3.9.13
Fedora 36: 3.10
Fedora 37: 3.11
Debian 11: 3.9.2
Alpine 3.14, 3.15: 3.9.16
Alpine 3.16, 3.17: 3.10.10
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: 3.8.10
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: 3.10.4
NetBSD 9.3: 3.9.13*
FreeBSD 12.4: 3.9.16
FreeBSD 13.1: 3.9.16
OpenBSD 7.2: 3.9.16
Note: Our VM tests install 3.9 explicitly for FreeBSD and 3.10 for
NetBSD; the default for "python" or "python3" in FreeBSD is
3.9.16. NetBSD does not appear to have a default meta-package, but
offers several options, the lowest of which is 3.7.15. "python39"
appears to be a pre-requisite to one of the other packages we request in
tests/vm/netbsd. pip, ensurepip and other Python essentials are
currently only available for Python 3.10 for NetBSD.
CentOS and OpenSUSE support parallel installation of multiple Python
interpreters, and binaries in /usr/bin will always use Python 3.6. However,
the newly introduced support for virtual environments ensures that all build
steps that execute QEMU Python code use a single interpreter.
Since it is safe to under our supported platform policy, bump our
minimum supported version of Python to 3.7.

This command is to be used to add various packages (or ensure they're
already present) into the configure-provided venv in a modular fashion.
Examples:
mkvenv ensure --online --dir "${source_dir}/python/wheels/" "meson>=0.61.5"
mkvenv ensure --online "sphinx>=1.6.0"
mkvenv ensure "qemu.qmp==0.0.2"
It's designed to look for packages in three places, in order:
(1) In system packages, if the version installed is already good
enough. This way your distribution-provided meson, sphinx, etc are
always used as first preference.
(2) In a vendored packages directory. Here I am suggesting
qemu.git/python/wheels/ as that directory. This is intended to serve as
a replacement for vendoring the meson source for QEMU tarballs. It is
also highly likely to be extremely useful for packaging the "qemu.qmp"
package in source distributions for platforms that do not yet package
qemu.qmp separately.
(3) Online, via PyPI, ***only when "--online" is passed***. This is only
ever used as a fallback if the first two sources do not have an
appropriate package that meets the requirement. The ability to build
QEMU and run tests *completely offline* is not impinged.

The pipenv tool was nice in theory, but in practice it's just too hard
to update selectively, and it makes using it a pain. The qemu.qmp repo
dropped pipenv support a while back and it's been functioning just fine,
so I'm backporting that change here to qemu.git.
