feat: drop use of sys.version_info and TYPE_CHECKING

Removing the check for Python < 3.7 using `sys.version_info` and as a
backup checking `typing.TYPE_CHECKING`; this saves us a little space
and also cleans up the code. Proposing this as an enhancement beyond
what's in the `codegen2` branch / PR #4978.
