[RFC] Drop Python 3.6 support in v10

See original GitHub issue

We are now discussing to drop support for Python 3.6 in CuPy v10. Feel free to leave a comment here if you have any concerns.

Background:

CUDA Python is unlikely to provide a wheel for Python 3.6, although it can be built from the source without any issue. CUDA Python currently requires -std=c++14 so recent versions of gcc, which is not in RHEL/CentOS 7 by default, is needed. We want to avoid requiring CuPy wheel users to manually install non-default GCC.
NumPy dropped Python 3.6 support in June 2020: https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html
Python 3.6 support become EOL in December 2021.

And I also found out we may build python bindings for TensorRT by ourself (https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT/tree/main/python) . I am working on that.
