Bump minimal supported Python version from 3.8 to 3.10

[Silv3S]

Since 2.9 release upstream set min Python version to 3.10 pytorch/pytorch#162310. We should align linters and scripts. Bumping linters also enables new lints, such as B905, which will not be fixed in this PR. This lint is xfailed in upstream too

Pull Request Overview

This PR updates the minimal supported Python version from 3.8 to 3.10 across the codebase, aligning with PyTorch 2.9's upstream requirement. The changes modernize Python type hints and syntax throughout linter tools, test files, and configuration files.

Key changes:

• Replaced legacy typing module imports with built-in generic types (e.g., list[T] instead of List[T])
• Added strict=False parameter to zip() calls for explicit iteration behavior
• Updated configuration files to reflect Python 3.10+ target versions
