Drop support for Python 3.9

[khk-globus]

Globus will be releasing their build of globus-python at 3.13. Consequently, we can now drop our support of Python 3.9 and build the binary packages based off of Python 3.13.

Now that we know better, you'll want to cap your dependency on globus-python. so for
deb: globus-python (>= 3.13), globus-python (<< 3.14)
rpm: Requires: globus-python >= 3.13, globus-python < 3.14

Och, of course. We even talked about that. Heh. Thanks for the reminder. Look good?

suggest also updating this minimum python version warning in the packaging Makefile

Also you may need some changes to your Jenkinsfile if the prereq downloading stage requires 3.13. For now you can set agent {label "package_creator_py313"} instead of agent {label "package_creator"}. 3.13 may become the default, but for now the old one still uses 3.9.

I don't think you're set up for jenkins PR builds, so this part may not matter. But until we release the new globus-python to unstable, you can add env.EPIC = "python313" at the top of the Jenkinsfile, so the build can find it.

The deb syntax for less-than is <<. Looks like it reads a single < as lte.
