Deprecate API support of python 3.10, includes update of the dependencies to their latest versions:

• All minor version have been updated in feat(dependencies): update production with latest minor versions of l… and feat(dependancies): update dev with latest minor versions of libraries
• Major version of importlib-metadata in feat(dependencies): upgrade importlib-metadata to latest version. I couldn't find a direct import in the code, seems to be related to markdown somehow.
• Major version of pytest in feat(dependencies): upgrade pytest and pytest-asyncio to latest version

It also rebuild the requirements.txt used in the serverless deployment, using the latest version of pyproject.toml

At each step I ran make install, make test, build and ran the docker images to make sure everything was built properly. I also fired a couple of requests on the APIs to make sure nothing was broken.

Note:

• This is a major change, which should be reflected by a major version of the API
• I am not sure whether dependencies update should be included in the same pull request.
