fix: vulnerable dependencies and clean up

[saikumarrs]

Description of the change

https://linear.app/rudderstack/issue/SDK-1907/python-vulnerabilities

I upgraded all the dependencies to the latest to resolve vulnerabilities.

Moreover, since Python versions < 3.8 have reached end-of-life status, we've removed support for those versions.

Other updates:

• Cleaned up GitHub workflows
• Added a workflow to clean up stale branches and PRs
• The direct project dependencies are moved to requirements.in file and clipped to specific versions.
  • To generate requirements.txt from it, run pip-compile requirements.in.
• Fixed minor issues in setup.py as well.
• Added setup_env.sh shell script to setup the project environment.

Note that the license issue for certifi cannot be resolved now without replacing the requests package with an alternative. Since it is a medium vulnerability, it has been ignored for now.
