Metadata mismatch in 0.9.0 wheels uploaded Jan 2, 2026 (Requires-Python: >=3.10)

"The wheels for arrow-json==0.9.0 uploaded on Jan 2, 2026, contain Requires-Python: >=3.10 in their internal METADATA file, even though the project should support >=3.7. This breaks builds for users on Python 3.9."

I've had to drop support for some more exotic Python platforms and older versions. Python 3.9 is EOL, I do not plan on supporting it. If you need additional support for Python versions / platforms I ask that you contribute that support.
