NEP-29 - enforce minimum Python version 3.10 (#6591)

- Raise exception if running with Python <= 3.9.x
- Clean up checks and notes relevant for old Pythons
- Bump up to numpy~=1.22 which is effectively the minimum version
  that works with Python 3.10.  We are a bit more permissive than
  NEP 29 which suggests numpy-1.23+.

Fixes: #6463
