Failed to run on Windows 7. Please, remove support for Python v3.8. Because Python v3.8 still supports Windows 7

[GaneJ]

Started from version 2.18, pydantic-core failed to run on Windows 7.

This is because the import "ProcessPrng" in bcryptprimitives.dll is missing in Windows 7 (_pydantic_core.cp38-win_amd64.pyd).

That function is only available in Windows 10 and above.

Since Python v3.8 still supports Windows 7, pydantic-core has to drop Python v3.8 support.

Thanks.

This came from Rust 1.78. We should consider limiting windows builds to 1.77 for now

I got it from https://pypi.org/

Version 2.23.1 still the same for Python 3.8
