Clarify the supported Python versions for Zulip Terminal in the README.

Previously the documentation mentioned "python 3.6+ required for running",
which is misleading based on the currently tested versions.

This change:

  • Updates the virtualenv instructions to state that Zulip Terminal currently
    supports Python 3.8–3.11.
  • Updates the Pipenv example from --python 3.6 to --python 3.10, and notes
    that any supported 3.8–3.11 version can be used.

Fixes: #1557
