### What changes were proposed in this pull request? This PR drops Python 3.10 support at `Apache Spark 4.3.0`. ### Why are the changes needed? Python 3.10 reaches end-of-life in October 2026 before Apache Spark 4.3.0 release. Dropping it on `master/branch-4.x` lets PySpark rely on 3.11-only language features and trims the CI matrix dedicated to 3.10. ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change? Yes. Installing PySpark from `master` on Python 3.10 will fail with `Requires-Python: >=3.11`. Released versions are unaffected. ### How was this patch tested? Existing CI (`build_python_3.11.yml` through `build_python_3.14*.yml`, `build_python_minimum.yml`, `build_python_ps_minimum.yml`). ### Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?
