This reverts commit a57cb3e23d5ac918a69d0aab918470ff0b429ff9.

The current code now only requires compatibility with Python
3.8 or later.

The conditional usage of 'sendmsg' on the async IO socket
wrapper will generate a deprecation warning on stderr
every time send_fd_scm is used with older Python versions.

This has the effect of breaking the QEMU I/O tests when run
on Python versions before the 'sendmsg' wrapper was removed.

Unconditionally accessing 'sock._sock' ensures we never use
the asyncio socket wrapper, and thus never risk triggering
deprecation warnings on any Python version

Most notably this fixes the QEMU block I/O tests on CentOS
Stream9 that use "sendmsg" for FD passing, which otherwise
generate deprecation messages breaking the expected output
comparison.
