Once reviewed it can be merged. The support drop will reach end users only when we do a tagged release :) |

I replaced the required checks that was set to Python 3.8 tests to Python 3.9 tests in our repo config. |

Python 3.8 reached EOL on 2024-10-07. Our dependencies will likely drop support for that version as well, so it will be a burden to keep-up support for it sooner or later.
Remove the cstruct dependency requirements relaxation introduced by 94f9129 to maintain Python 3.8 support. It's no longer needed so now we use cstruct version 4.0 and up.
We cannot use Path.readlink to check if the symlink target is
not set (that happens with f_badsymlinks.img on Darwin systems, you need
a broken filesystem and an OS that supports it).
That's because Path.readlink returns a Path object with an empty name
(i.e. Path("")), which is indiscernable from a symlink target that is
the current directory (i.e. Path(".")). Since there is no difference
between Path("") and Path("."), we can't differentiate between a symlink
with an empty target and a symlink that points at the current directory.
