lang/python: Drop 37 from default PYTHON_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED

While python 3.7 is not EOL, many python packages are acting as if it
is, and the resulting fallout in bulk builds is making it difficult to
assess real breakage.  Following discussion on pkgsrc-users, where
only one person said they wanted to use 3.7 in pkgsrc, 37 is being
dropped from ACCEPTED, but the package remains, at least for now.

Anyone who wants to use 3.7 can set PYTHON_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED in
mk.conf or locally modify pyversion.mk.

Shortly, I will drop 37 from PYTHON_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED from 6 packages
that set it, so that there will be essentially no py37-foo packages
built by default.  We will no longer allow adding 37 to
PYTHON_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED.  It remains fine to add 37 to
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE, but 37-inspired changes that cause
failures for people with a default pyversion.mk should be avoided.
