Fix the incompatibility with Python 3.12 and drop the support for 3.7 (#181)

### Motivation

The `avro` component cannot be installed with Python 3.12 because the
depended `fastavro` dependency is 1.7.3, which is not compatible with
Python 3.12. However, the newer fastavro dependencies all do not support
Python 3.7, which has already reached the EOL (2023-06-27).

### Modifications

- Upgrade the fastavro dependency to 1.9.2
- Add the workflows to run tests for the lowest and highest supported
  Python versions (3.8 and 3.12).
- Fix the documents
