### NOTE
* We shouldn't merge this PR until GCP cloud functions drops support for Python 3.7 ([Currently scheduled for GCF](https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/runtime-support#python))
As part of supporting Python 3.12, we're now officially drop support for Python 3.7.
This PR:
* Changed supported Python version from 3.7 to 3.8 in README.
* Replaced distribution test image from `debian:buster` to `debian:bullseye` since the default Python version in buster is 3.7.

Fix the docker image for C# distribution tests - csharp_ubuntu2204_x64
The package that installed the .NET 7.0 SDK is missing setting up links and thus the `dotnet` command cannot find the SDK. Setting this links has been added to the dockerfile.
**NOTE**: I'm unable to update `tools/dockerfile/distribtest/csharp_ubuntu2204_x64.current_version` as I don't have access to the artifact registry.
Closes#36019
PiperOrigin-RevId: 611590679
The current .NET SDK in these tests is EOL, and we've been seeing strange SSL errors transiently.
Update to a supported version and remove cruft in the docker image that was there to install the older version.
TODO: submitting first with the ubuntu 22.04 image test skipped, need to follow-up with a fix and unskip the test
Closes#35955

- Dropped Ruby 2.7 test (Ruby 2.7 hit EOL 1 year ago)
- Upgraded the base image of Ruby docker images from Debian:10 to Debian:11 (Debian:10 hit EOL)
Closes#35911
PiperOrigin-RevId: 607088383
rebuilt `tools/dockerfile/distribtest/csharp_ubuntu2204_x64/Dockerfile` (without actually changing anything in the docker instructions) in an attempt to fix `The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception.` errors happening in `dotnet restore` commands in distrib tests using this image.

- add check that there are no unwanted .current_version files left in
the repo after foobar/Dockerfile gets deleted.
