fix: Drop Python 2 support (#826)

Cloud NDB is one of the final Cloud Client libraries to support Python 2 and retaining support for it will prevent us from updating to the newest version of the underlying Datastore libraries. Not considering this a breaking change because pip will respect python_requires in setup.py and not install a version that doesn't support it anymore.
