Python3.7 support

See original GitHub issue

Is it possible to a deploy a python lambda using python3.7 runtime? I’ve been looking at a few posts (https://github.com/zeit/now/issues/2849, https://spectrum.chat/zeit/now/issue-with-now-json-on-a-monorepo-with-python-3-7-and-flask~7e566987-b4d5-4134-af13-a1c1672925d6) which seem to suggest it should be possible (both in dev and deployed).

But the python/build code suggests that only 3.6 is supported in deployment. https://github.com/zeit/now/blob/db1a2e6482e134a2956a1fa6b2dddda5861e2eea/packages/now-python/src/index.ts#L178-L185

I’m using fastapi and couldn’t get it running well because of 3.6 Would much love 3.8+ (at least) support.

Python 3.9 is out now as well if we could just skip to that.
