Python 3.7, 3.8 support, improved unittest support

[nanobowers]

This PR also contains some edits based on a fork from @Fryguy - namely support for F-Strings.

Enhancements:

• Support for python 3.7 up to python 3.8.6 has been added. For some reason I am having trouble getting py3.9 to work at the moment, hope to revisit that later. (Support for Python 3.8 #6 per @ankane)
  • Integrated @Fryguy f-string support (visit_JoinedStr, visit_FormattedValue) support for some fstring modifiers (e.g. {foo!r}) and added unit tests.
  • Added support for visit_Constant from 3.8+
• Added try/except in run_tests.py to pre-check existence of development package dependencies before failing (Test [FAIL] #5 @joel)
• Added support for many additional python unitTest --> ruby test/unit, and consolidated testing files somewhat.

I totally forgot I forked it with that fix 😆

This WFM on Python 3.8-3.10.0b3, on Mac BigSur 11.4

Removing README.rst and creating README.md causes pip install 'git+https://github.com/nanobowers/py2rb@new_versions' to fail because setup.py requires README.rst.

ping @naitoh , could you review this. I would like to make other PRs, but it doesnt make sense to do that unless this is merged as I need py38+ support.

Hi @jayvdb, I am hopeful that @naitoh returns, but it appears he has been inactive for quite some time.

I have recently made some fixes to my repo that address some of the issues you filed:

• AnnAssign not supported #8
• sys.argv and sys.exit #11
• range with step doesnt stop before stop #12
• py2many tests/cases/assert.py fails #13
• sys.argv and sys.exit #11
• Plus os.environ/os.getenv support and some other fixes
  ...and put them on my master branch: https://github.com/nanobowers/py2rb/tree/master .

Please feel free to submit issues/PRs there if you wish.

Hopefully we can get clarification if this repo is abandoned and (if so) figure out if it can be handed off to someone else.

Great. There are now two main bugs found by the py2many test suite

• exceptions: Bare except catching failure #10
• comb_sort Syntax error in maths #15

And one that is not as critical

• byte_literals: byte literals not supported #14

I think I saw that @naitoh was active on Twitter. Might want to catch him there or on email, to find out the future of this package.

@jayvdb So far, attempts to reach @naitoh outside of GitHub have been unsuccessful. Not sure the best way to proceed is...
