Drop support for python 3.3 and python 3.4

As Github actions is dropping support for Ubuntu-18.04 images and
those are the only ones that support easy execution of python 3.3 and
python 3.4 environments, support for py3.3 and 3.4 would be hard to
ensure.

For old systems python 2.6 and 2.7 support will remain.
