PY3.8 is EOL.

Used vendored version of telnetlib inside of Netmiko; alternative is to completely drop telnet support (of find some alternatively maintained telnet library).

Another option is to just gracefully catch the import telnetlib failure such that it doesn't cause the Device import to fail.

Basically, create a deprecation warning and gracefully catch the import telnetlib failure. In this way, people using PY3.9 - PY3.12 could keep using telnetlib and PY3.13 would work for its main uses. telnet function would cease working in PY3.13 as it would be deprecated by PyEZ.
