And remove some compatibility code.

note that Electrum ABC is currently packaged with 3.9.13

Supported Linux operating systems (core#27483):

FreeBSD 12/13 also ships with 3.9
CentOS-like 8/9 also ships with 3.9 (and 3.11)
OpenSuse Leap also ships with 3.9 (and 3.11)

See https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.html
It never really made sense to import concurrent on its own. This package only has one module: concurrent.futures.

bump the minimum version also in the CMakeLists.txt
