Deprecation Notice: Python 3.8 Wheel Support to End in future releases

[yzh119]

Python 3.8 has reached its end-of-life as outlined in the Status of Python version. Starting with FlashInfer v0.2.3 (in the future), we will no longer provide official wheel support for Python 3.8. Users are encouraged to upgrade to a newer Python version to continue receiving updates and support.

pytorch 2.5 already dropped python 3.8 support, so does vllm.

however, i still recommend to build the wheel with python 3.8+ abi , since that does not hurt anything. you only need to release one wheel for all the python versions, right?

There are currently issues with the one-wheel method, so it has been temporarily reverted. If it's fixed later, as you mentioned, we can consider adding support for Python 3.8 since the cost is low. ref #681
