We need to update urllib3 to 2.5 to fix CVE-2025-50181 and -50182. As it requires Python 3.9, we drop support for Python 3.8.
Unfortunately, vcr would also partly block the urllib3 update due to kevin1024/vcrpy#926. We anyhow don't use it anymore, so let's remove it. This requires some refactoring moving general infrastructure from the VCR base to better places.
