Support Python >= 3.12 and drop support for Python 2.x

[hlongmore]

Feature Request

Trying to install arrow with Python 3.12.3 installed does not work, because (at a minimum) distutils has been removed, but is required by the package six. As Python 2.x is far beyond EOL now, perhaps it is time to support Python >= 3.12 by dropping the six package and thus dropping support for 2.x?

This is the traceback I get trying to install via poetry:

> poetry add arrow
Using version ^1.3.0 for arrow

If approved, I'd be happy to work on this!
