tests: minimum python version validation for user facing scripts

Adds [`Vermin`](https://github.com/netromdk/vermin) to make sure our
user facing Python scripts conform to the proper minimum Python version
requirements.

The tool parses Python code into an AST and checks it against a database
of rules covering Python 2.0-3.13.

Testing Python version compatibility is tricky because most issues only
show up at runtime. Type annotations like `str | None` (Python 3.10+)
compile just fine (under pyc) and they don't throw an exception until
you actually call the relevant function.

This makes it hard to catch compatibility bugs without running the code
(through all possible execution paths) on every Python version.
