🐍 Migrate platform from Python 3.9 to Python 3.10

Description

This PR executes a comprehensive migration of the entire platform from Python 3.9 to Python 3.10.13, ensuring compatibility and taking advantage of improved performance and new language features.

Changes

• Python Runtime Upgrade: Updated all services, scripts, and CI/CD workflows to use Python 3.10.13
• Dependency Requirements: Updated python_requires in all setup.py files from ~=3.9 to >=3.10,<3.12
• Docker Base Images: Migrated all Dockerfiles to use python:3.10.13-slim-buster
• CI/CD Pipelines: Updated GitHub Actions workflows to run tests and deployments on Python 3.10
• Deprecated Code Removal: Replaced deprecated distutils.util.strtobool with custom implementation to maintain Python 3.12+ compatibility

Motivation

• Performance Improvements: Python 3.10 offers significant performance enhancements and optimizations
• Language Features: Access to new features like structural pattern matching, improved error messages, and union type annotations
• Future Compatibility: Preparation for eventual Python 3.12+ migration by removing deprecated distutils dependencies
• Security: Benefit from security patches and improvements in the newer Python version
