git-p4: make python2.7 the oldest supported version

yangskyboxlabs · gitster · commit 0b4396f0688f · 2020-01-15T12:53:39.000-08:00
Python2.6 and earlier have been end-of-life'd for many years now, and
we actually already use 2.7-only features in the code. Make the version
check reflect current realities.

This also removes the need to explicitly define CalledProcessError if
it's not available.
