Python 3.7 has reached EOL June 27 2023.

As this PR shows, dropping Python 3.7 doesn't bring as much as dropping 3.6 did tooling-wise, and 3.8 will syntax wise. But it brings a nice improvement to dealing with DLL location and PATH issues.

Also of interest:

I understand if you'd like to have one more release (307) supporting Python 3.7 before dropping it.

Conceptually this is fine, but if there's nothing which requires this it would be ideal if I could make another final release supporting 2.7 given it went EOL after the most recent pywin32 release.

Setting as draft until the next release.
Speaking of which, I should build up a changelog of all the recent cleanup and fixes.
