As noted on this page python versions prior to 3.10 are already end-of-life.

By dropping support for these versions we can use more modern typing and make the code more robust. We are already actually pinned to 3.10 because the minimum version for jsonschema right now is already 3.10. You will discover this if you try to make a new 3.7 environment and try to install sigmf. Conda-forge recognized this for us and already had the minimum version for sigmf set to 3.10.

This will increment version to v1.12.0.

* Why do this?
  * python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 are all EOL
  * jsonschema requires Python >= 3.10
* Simpler code
  * fewer imports
  * more readable
* increment to v3.12.0
* fix typing related to str & Path
* fix missing "| None" typing not possible before min version was 3.10
* remaining mypy issues related mypy being unable to 'prove' types
  fixes require making the codebase more ugly or adding ignore
  statements in many locations
