Start a 9.1.x branch for Varbase API to support Drupal ~10 and drop support for Drupal ~9 [#3403439]

Problem/Motivation

Drupal 9 is end of life as of November 1st, 2023

Drupal 9 relies on several other software projects, including Symfony, CKEditor, and Twig. With Symfony 4's end of life, CKEditor 4's end of life, and Twig 2's end of life all coming up soon, Drupal 9 went end of life on November 1st, 2023. There will be no further releases of Drupal 9.

Two changes for Drupal contributed projects will occur before the end of January 2024. One is that the automated testing platform DrupalCI support for Drupal 9 will stop. The other is that release branches of contributed projects that only support Drupal 9 will be marked unsupported.

Proposed resolution

Start a 9.1.x branch with latest changes from the 9.0.x branch.
Change drupal/core to ~10 in the .info.yml and composer.josn files in the 9.1.x branch
Change drupal/core to ~9 in the .info.yml and composer.josn files in the 9.0.x branch
Change drupal/core to ~10 in the .info.yml and composer.josn files in the 10.0.x branch to allow for a smooth update to latest stable Drupal 10 versions
Drop support for Drupal ~9 on the 9.1.x branch
Remove outdated and deprecated code for Drupal 9
