Deprecate support for EOL Python versions on MacOS

See original GitHub issue

Summary

PR #79 introduces GitHub actions for performing CI/CD. The pipeline executes the test suite across all supported Python versions on multiple operating systems.

actions/virtual-environments#4060 updates the macOS-latest workflow to reference macOS-11 (from macOS-10.5); this is expected to remove support for Python versions 2.7, 3.5, and 3.6. Accordingly, the GitHub actions configuration must be updated to accommodate this change.

Definition of Done

CI tests for macOS are skipped/allowed to fail/expected to fail for Python 2.7, 3.5, and 3.6 on macOS

@jshwi I wouldn’t think so. In an ideal world, nobody uses 2.7 anymore, so the change would not have any impact. In a real world, anyone who is still running 2.7 is unlikely to install updates/upgrades to dependencies (especially since pip no longer supports 2.7)

@bryant-finney Well there won’t be any more security patches etc for 2.7, so phasing it out should certainly be on the roadmap. Possible to just announce a deprecation warning up until the next minor release of this package.

Would you know if removing 2.7 would be considered a breaking change (3.xx -> 4.x.x)?
