Remove Python 3.8 tests and constraints

Python 3.8 reaches its EOL in October 2024, shortly after the 2024.2
release, so is no longer part of the tested runtimes for the 2024.2
release. Remove testing with Python 3.8 because some projects already
started removing Python 3.8 support according to the runtime update.

Also remove py3.8 specific entries from constraints.
