Remove upper-binding for "python-requires" (#52980) (#52984)

Follow up after #52967 -> from later discussions it turned out that
it's not really the ~= that is wrong and ambiguous, but that just
upper-binding of Python version is generally considered as a bad
idea - and it's not Astral's view but it's general consensus that
upper-binding of "python-requires" is bad. Since ~= implies
upper-binding, simply replacing it with >= is likely the best option
we can choose.
