Summary

Poetry has become the defacto standard for maintaining package dependencies and building package libraries. To make the code base easier to install for developers to work on and to provide a modern interface for working with python-wiremock, we will switch the code base to use poetry for the library and dependency management.

We will also take this as an opportunity to set baseline python version support.

The existing codebase is tested against python 2.7 and ^3.4.

Python has already deprecated support for all version <= 3.6. So this change will also set the support for python wirewmock to python versions 3.6 and above.

The code may continue to work on version < 3.6 but they will no longer be tested and issues isolated to those versions will not be accepted.
