[Zac-HD]

Remove Python 3.9 from CI matrix, setup.cfg classifiers, tox envlist, mergify checks, and bump python_requires to >=3.10.

Inline code that was gated behind sys.version_info checks:

• Use slots=True directly in dataclass decorator (3.10+)
• Use futures.Future[t.Any] directly (3.9+)
• Remove redundant version checks and imports in tests
