Drop support for Python 3.8 and replace pkg_resources with importlib.resources

[luisfelipec95]

Description

• Dropped support for Python 3.8
• Upgrade requirements
• Replace pkg_resources lib with importlib.resources:

pkg_resources (from setuptools) is deprecated and will be removed in future Python versions.
The new implementation uses importlib.resources, which is the recommended alternative and is fully available in Python 3.9+.
