feat: remove Python 3.7 support (#5191) 
* First pass updating misc files, informed by https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5177/commits

* Remove jobs using silkeh/clang and gcc docker containers that come with Python 3.7

* Add silkeh/clang:17-bookworm

* Add job using GCC 7

* Revert "Add job using GCC 7"

This reverts commit 518515a761.

* Try running in ubuntu-18.04 container under ubuntu-latest (to get GCC 7)

* Fix `-` vs `:` mixup.

* This reverts commit b1c4304475.

Revert "Try running in ubuntu:18.04 container under ubuntu-latest (to get GCC 7)"

This reverts commit b203a294bb.

* `git grep 0x03080000` cleanup.

* `git grep -I -E '3\.7'` cleanup.

Removes two changes made under pybind/pybind11#3702

* Revert "`git grep -I -E '3\.7'` cleanup."

This reverts commit bb5b9d187b.

* Remove comments that are evidently incorrect:

```

* .github/workflows/configure.yml: Change from Python 3.7 to 3.8

* Misc cleanup pass

* Miscellaneous changes based on manual review of the `git grep` matches below:

```
git_grep_37_38.sh |& sort | uniq -c
```

With git_grep_37_38.sh:

```
set -x
git grep 0x0307
git grep 0x0308
git grep PY_MINOR_VERSION
git grep PYPY_VERSION
git grep -I -E '3\.7'
git grep -I -E '3\.8'
git grep -I -E '\(3, 7'
git grep -I -E '\(3, 8'
git grep -I -E '3[^A-Za-z0-9.]+7'
git grep -I -E '3[^A-Za-z0-9.]+8'
```

• `CMake example <https://github.com/pybind/cmake_example>`_
.. start
**pybind11** is a lightweight header-only library that exposes C++ types
in Python and vice versa, mainly to create Python bindings of existing
C++ code. Its goals and syntax are similar to the excellent
`Boost.Python <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/libs/python/doc/>`_
library by David Abrahams: to minimize boilerplate code in traditional
extension modules by inferring type information using compile-time
introspection.
The main issue with Boost.Python—and the reason for creating such a
similar project—is Boost. Boost is an enormously large and complex suite
of utility libraries that works with almost every C++ compiler in
existence. This compatibility has its cost: arcane template tricks and
workarounds are necessary to support the oldest and buggiest of compiler
specimens. Now that C++11-compatible compilers are widely available,
this heavy machinery has become an excessively large and unnecessary
dependency.
Think of this library as a tiny self-contained version of Boost.Python
with everything stripped away that isn't relevant for binding
generation. Without comments, the core header files only require ~4K
lines of code and depend on Python (3.8+, or PyPy) and the C++
standard library. This compact implementation was possible thanks to
some C++11 language features (specifically: tuples, lambda functions and
variadic templates). Since its creation, this library has grown beyond
Boost.Python in many ways, leading to dramatically simpler binding code in many
common situations.
Tutorial and reference documentation is provided at
`pybind11.readthedocs.io <https://pybind11.readthedocs.io/en/latest>`_.
A PDF version of the manual is available
`here <https://pybind11.readthedocs.io/_/downloads/en/latest/pdf/>`_.
And the source code is always available at
`github.com/pybind/pybind11 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11>`_.
Core features
-------------
pybind11 can map the following core C++ features to Python:
- Functions accepting and returning custom data structures per value,
reference, or pointer
- Instance methods and static methods
- Overloaded functions
- Instance attributes and static attributes
- Arbitrary exception types
- Enumerations
- Callbacks
- Iterators and ranges
- Custom operators
- Single and multiple inheritance
- STL data structures
- Smart pointers with reference counting like ``std::shared_ptr``
- Internal references with correct reference counting
- C++ classes with virtual (and pure virtual) methods can be extended
in Python
- Integrated NumPy support (NumPy 2 requires pybind11 2.12+)
Goodies
-------
In addition to the core functionality, pybind11 provides some extra
goodies:
- Python 3.8+, and PyPy3 7.3 are supported with an implementation-agnostic
interface (pybind11 2.9 was the last version to support Python 2 and 3.5).
- It is possible to bind C++11 lambda functions with captured
variables. The lambda capture data is stored inside the resulting
Python function object.
- pybind11 uses C++11 move constructors and move assignment operators
whenever possible to efficiently transfer custom data types.
- It's easy to expose the internal storage of custom data types through
Pythons' buffer protocols. This is handy e.g. for fast conversion
between C++ matrix classes like Eigen and NumPy without expensive
copy operations.
- pybind11 can automatically vectorize functions so that they are
transparently applied to all entries of one or more NumPy array
arguments.
- Python's slice-based access and assignment operations can be
supported with just a few lines of code.
- Everything is contained in just a few header files; there is no need
to link against any additional libraries.
- Binaries are generally smaller by a factor of at least 2 compared to
equivalent bindings generated by Boost.Python. A recent pybind11
conversion of PyRosetta, an enormous Boost.Python binding project,
`reported <https://graylab.jhu.edu/Sergey/2016.RosettaCon/PyRosetta-4.pdf>`_
a binary size reduction of **5.4x** and compile time reduction by
**5.8x**.
- Function signatures are precomputed at compile time (using
``constexpr``), leading to smaller binaries.
- With little extra effort, C++ types can be pickled and unpickled
similar to regular Python objects.
Supported compilers
-------------------
1. Clang/LLVM 3.3 or newer (for Apple Xcode's clang, this is 5.0.0 or
newer)
2. GCC 4.8 or newer
3. Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 or newer
4. Intel classic C++ compiler 18 or newer (ICC 20.2 tested in CI)
5. Cygwin/GCC (previously tested on 2.5.1)
6. NVCC (CUDA 11.0 tested in CI)
7. NVIDIA PGI (20.9 tested in CI)
