Remove support for Python older than 2.6

Supporting very old Python versions is a maintenance burden,
especially with the several variant test files to maintain for Python
<2.6.

Since we have dropped support for older OpenSSL versions in
7b283d0e1d1d79bf1c962d790c94d2a53f3bb38a, RHEL 5 is now effectively
desupported, and that was also the only mainstream operating system
still using Python versions before 2.6, so it's a good time to drop
those as well.
