[build] Drop Python 3.7 and macos 13 support.

The macos13 builder will be retired soon so remove it early to avoid breaking the build.

Python 3.7 is not supported on all builders already and has been EOL for > 2 years now.

 PySceneDetect is a major breaking release which overhauls how timestamps are handled throughout the API. This allows PySceneDetect to properly process variable framerate (VFR) videos. A significant amount of technical debt has been addressed, including removal of deprecated or overly complicated APIs.
 
-Although there have been minimal changes to most API examples, there are several breaking changes. Applications written for the 0.6 API *may* require modification to work with the new API.

 ### CLI Changes
 
 - [feature] [WIP] New `save-xml` command supports saving scenes in Final Cut Pro format [#156](https://github.com/Breakthrough/PySceneDetect/issues/156)
 - [refactor] Remove deprecated `-d`/`--min-delta-hsv` option from `detect-adaptive` command

  * Replace `frame_num` parameter (`int`) with `timecode` (`FrameTimecode`) in `SceneDetector` interface (#168)[https://github.com/Breakthrough/PySceneDetect/issues/168]:
       * The detector interface: `SceneDetector.process_frame()` and `SceneDetector.post_process()`
       * Statistics: `StatsManager.get_metrics()`, `StatsManager.set_metrics()`, and `StatsManager.metrics_exist()`

  * Remove `advance` parameter from `VideoStream.read()`
  * Remove `SceneDetector.stats_manager_required` property, no longer required
  * `SceneDetector` is now a [Python abstract class](https://docs.python.org/3/library/abc.html)

- #### General
-
  * Deprecated functionality preserved from v0.6 now uses the `warnings` module
  * Add properties to access `frame_num`, `framerate`, and `seconds` from `FrameTimecode` instead of getter methods
  * Add new `Timecode` type to represent frame timings in terms of the video's source timebase
