From discussions in the team about what should be the baseline for QMI, we probably should use 3.11 as the baseline. The latest Debian for example has 3.11 on it, so we expect little use for 3.10 use and we want to also avoid issues where new features were programmed on 3.11 but are not compatible with 3.10.
Edit the setup.py and Github workflows to have Python version matrixes only with 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13.
As the new fork for py-xdrlib is dependent on >= Python 3.11, this is probably a good moment to introduce it into the project dependencies.
extras:
Remove unused script qmi_run_contexts
Fix entry point for qmi_tool, ie. make a main method using the code under if __name__ == 'main' and call the main from there instead.
