Drop support for Python 3.6.0

It has some subtle typing differences compared to 3.6.1, see e.g.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.NamedTuple

Also, we can't easily test it, it's unlikely to be in use anywhere
anyways, and various dependencies already dropped support for it or are
going to (e.g. PyQt 6).

See #4800
