Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Run the Python 3.9 Linux CI job on ubuntu-24.04

actions/setup-python has no Python 3.9 build for Ubuntu 26.04, which
ubuntu-latest is moving to, so the (3.9, ubuntu-latest) leg fails at
setup and fail-fast cancels the rest of the matrix. Run only that leg
on ubuntu-24.04; the matrix and job names stay the same.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Drop Python 3.9

Per review: remove 3.9 from the CI matrix (and the ubuntu-24.04 pin it
needed), from python_requires and the classifiers in setup.py, and
from the tox envlist.
