### 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.

- Switched from yapf to black
- Reconfigure isort for black
- Resolve black/pylint idiosyncrasies
Note: I used `--experimental-string-processing` because black was
producing "implicit string concatenation", similar to what described
here: https://github.com/psf/black/issues/1837. While currently this
feature is experimental, it will be enabled by default:
https://github.com/psf/black/issues/2188. After running black with the
new string processing so that the generated code merges these `"hello" "
world"` strings concatenations, then I removed
`--experimental-string-processing` for stability, and regenerated the
code again.
To the reviewer: don't even try to open "Files Changed" tab 😄 It's
better to review commit-by-commit, and ignore `run black and isort`.
