feat: support Python 3.10-3.14, drop EOL 3.8/3.9

Python 3.8 (EOL 2024-10) and 3.9 (EOL 2025-10) are end-of-life;
advertising support for them was a false security claim. Raise the
supported floor to 3.10 and declare/test through 3.14.

- requires-python / python_requires: >=3.10
- classifiers: 3.10-3.14
- CI test matrix: 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14
- README / ARCHITECTURE: reflect new support range

Floor stays at 3.10 (not 3.11) because GPU/ML base images still ship
3.10/3.11; plan a 3.10->3.11 bump after 3.10 EOL (2026-10).
