Drop support for Go 1.7 and Go 1.8

In the next patch I will need to use big.Int.IsInt64, which was added in Go 1.9 in 2017. Go 1.7 and Go 1.8 are very old nowdays - their last point releases were done in 2017 (go1.7.6) and 2018 (go1.8.7) - 7 and 6 years ago correspondingly. Since then those releases are EOL with many further Go releases done after them. We even specify go1.12 as the requirement in our go.mod, but that is probably because go1.12 is the first version to support modules. Anyway dropping support for those very old Go1.7 and Go1.8 should be almost certainly ok as I doubt if there are current ogórek users still stuck at those old Go versions.
