Drop EOL Python 3.8 support (#1162)

* Drop EOL Python 3.8 support

* Run pyupgrade --py39-plus on all files

* Revert using direct annotations in looponfail.py

We need to use string annotations otherwise we get this error:

```
ValueError: ("the use of non-builtin globals isn't supported", ['execnet', 'Any'])
```
