importlib-metadata was declared as a direct dependency (^6.6) solely as a
fallback for the stdlib importlib.metadata import in connect/client/version.py.

Since the project requires Python >=3.9 and importlib.metadata has been in the
standard library since 3.8, the except branch never executed and the <7 ceiling
imposed by the caret was entirely artificial.

Remove the dependency from pyproject.toml and the try/except fallback in
version.py (now importing directly from importlib.metadata). importlib-metadata
remains in the lock at 6.11.0 as a transitive dependency of mkdocs (python<3.10),
so requirements/docs.txt is unaffected.

LITE-34447: Drop spurious importlib-metadata dependency

…cker

Raise the runtime floor to Python 3.10 (verified on 3.10 and 3.12) and
modernize the HTTP toolchain:

  - python >=3.10,<4 (drop 3.9 from deps and CI matrix)
  - httpx >=0.28, pytest-httpx >=0.35, inflect >=7
  - dev: pytest >=8,<9, pytest-asyncio >=0.24,<2, pytest-cov <7

pytest-httpx >=0.35 (which pulls httpx 0.28) is the only path to httpx
0.28, and it forces the pytest/pytest-asyncio bumps transitively. Its
0.31+ API changes break the async mocker, so adapt it:

  - HTTPXMock now requires _HTTPXMockOptions; construct it with
    can_send_already_matched_responses=True so a single registered
    response answers the ConnectClient's retried requests. The strict
    assert_all_requests_were_expected default is kept, so an unmocked
    request fails the test.
  - reset() no longer performs assertions; call _assert_options()
    explicitly, gated by success, to keep failing on unrequested mocks.
  - match_content now serializes JSON with compact separators to match
    httpx 0.28's compact request-body serialization.

Mark test_execute_error_with_reason (native httpx_mock fixture, retries
on 500) with the matching httpx_mock options. All tests pass.

connect/client/fluent.py imported `Proxy` from httpx._config and
`get_environment_proxies` from httpx._utils. Both are private httpx APIs
that can change or vanish on any minor release, and the import happens at
module load, so a break would take down the whole client, not just proxy
support.

Reimplement the environment proxy discovery locally as
_get_environment_proxies() on top of stdlib urllib.request.getproxies()
and ipaddress, faithfully porting httpx 0.28's algorithm: http/https/all
schemes (normalizing bare host:port to a http:// URL) and NO_PROXY
handling for domains, IPv4, IPv6, localhost, explicit-scheme hosts, and
the NO_PROXY=* global bypass. Use the public httpx.Proxy instead of the
private one.

Add tests for this previously untested logic (scheme normalization, each
NO_PROXY host form, and the wildcard bypass). All 407 tests pass.

The install section still stated Python 3.9 as the minimum. Python 3.9
support was dropped on this branch (pyproject.toml now requires >=3.10),
so align the README with the actual requirement.

The bundled OpenAPI spec fixture (tests/data/specs.yml) was a v22.0
snapshot from 2021. Replace it with the current live spec (v37.0) from
https://apispec.connect.cloudblue.com/connect-openapi30.yml so the
introspection tests validate against the API's real, current structure.

Update the exact-match assertions in test_openapi.py whose expected
values changed with the new spec: get_namespaces (11 -> 21),
get_collections (18 -> 29), get_actions and get_nested_collections for
products. No client code changes: the client is spec-agnostic and only
loads the spec for optional help/validation.

Address PR review on the httpx 0.28 / pytest-httpx 0.35 bump.

- match_content now mirrors httpx 0.28's request-body serialization
  exactly by adding ensure_ascii=False and allow_nan=False. Without
  them a non-ASCII match_body serialized to \uXXXX escapes while httpx
  sends raw UTF-8, so the mock silently failed to match.
- Pin an upper bound pytest-httpx >=0.35,<1. It is a runtime dependency
  (connect.client.testing ships the mocker and a pytest11 plugin) that
  relies on private pytest_httpx API (_HTTPXMockOptions, _assert_options),
  so an unbounded minor bump could break downstream test suites.
- Add test_create_match_non_ascii_body and test_unrequested_mock_fails
  to cover the non-ASCII matching and the reset() assertion path, which
  previously had no coverage.

LITE-33583: Runtime floor to Python 3.10 and modernize http toolchain

GitHub Actions runners are dropping Node 20 support, forcing actions
pinned to it onto Node 24 with a deprecation warning. Bump
actions/checkout to v7 and actions/setup-python to v6 in the build and
deploy workflows to versions that target current Node natively.

Part of LITE-33583.

The SonarScanner (sonarcloud-github-action) is deprecated in favour of
sonarqube-scan-action, and its internals still pull actions/cache@v4,
which targets the now-deprecated Node 20 runtime. Switch to
SonarSource/sonarqube-scan-action@v8 (runs on Node 24), setting
SONAR_HOST_URL to https://sonarcloud.io since the generic scan action
has no SonarCloud default; projectKey/organization stay in
sonar-project.properties.

Also bump actions/github-script v6 (Node 16) to v9 (Node 24) in
deploy.yml, the remaining action on a deprecated runtime.
