run_tests/release: require Python 3.9+

While we support running `repo` on clients with older Python versions,
we don't need to hold the runners & release code back.  These are only
used by repo devs on their systems to develop & release repo.

Python 3.9 was picked due to its typing changs which we've already
started using in this code.
