[v1.1.0] Drop Python 3.7 and add support for Python 3.12 (#120)

* docs: update python supported versions list

* docs: update changelog

* chore: bump up release to 1.0.6

* chore: CI only covers supported versions

* fix: deploying package uses py3.8 instead of py3.7

* fix: exclude 3.13

* fix: switch release from 1.0.6 to 1.1.0

* refactor: replace deprecated package `distutils`

`distutils` was deprecated and removed in Python 3.12 [1].

`distutils.dir_util.copy_tree` function can be replaced by the `shutil.copytree`
counterpart.

[1]: https://docs.python.org/3.10/whatsnew/3.10.html#distutils-deprecated

* docs: added deprecated distutils fix to changelog
