TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for |: 'type' and 'type'

Hi,

Thank you for sharing this fantastic plugin!

I was using hashdb in latest version of ida pro on win 7 x64 python 3.8 the following line of code threw the above error.

HASHDB_REQUEST_TIMEOUT: int | float = 15 # Limit to 15 seconds

I realised its because python 3.8 doesn't support use of '|' as an Union operator.

I guess the work around is to modify the code to fall back to "Union". as I prefer to work with win 7 and the last of python it supports is 3.8 :(

Just wanted to let you guys know in case someone else faced the same issue.

Under:

Python 3.8.2 (default, Jun  8 2021, 11:59:35) 
[Clang 12.0.5 (clang-1205.0.22.11)] 
IDAPython v7.4.0 final (serial 0) (c) The IDAPython Team <idapython@googlegroups.com>

Version 7.6.210427 macOS arm64 (32-bit address size)

Same issue as above... earlier Python versions don't support union. We need to support these versions 3.8 isn't that old and I think we will find a lot of ppl not using the bleeding edge....

Workaround: for now we can use v1.6.0 without any significant feature impacts but we should support Py 3.8 going forward.
