[0/3] qapi: Clean up for Python 3.8

Message

The QAPI code generator code still contains a few minor oddities to
make it work with versions of Python we no longer support.  Bury them.

I'm leaving two things for later because I don't know what to do about
them:

* scripts/qapi/source.py has a "Replace with @dataclass in Python
  3.7+" comment.

* scripts/qapi/introspect.py has a "Python 3.6 does not offer
  TypedDict constructs" comment.

While there, fix a missing version bump in build dependency
documentation.

  docs/about/build-platforms: Correct minimum supported Python version
  qapi: Eliminate OrderedDict
  qapi/introspect: Use @dataclass to simplify
