Bump minimum required version to 3.10.0

Bump minimum required version to 3.10.0.

After updating CMake on my system I was getting annoyed by warning that support for CMake < 3.10 will be removed in future version.

@mwlasiuk Thanks! What is your system FYI?(e.g. Ubuntu 24.04)

Tested on:

• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with CMake 4.1.0 and default CMake from apt
• Ubuntu 11 WSL (Debian 12) with CMake 4.1.0 and default CMake from apt
• Windows 11 with CMake 4.1.0-rc2

cmake 4.x is relatively new.
I'd like to wait bumping cmake min version until cmake 4.x gets mature(2~3 years)

I'd also love to see this fixed - the warning is really annoying 🙂 but I don't understand your need to wait until version 4 is mature - this change does not mandate a version higher than 3.10?

For the record, passing -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.10 to the cmake command forces the minimum version to 3.10, which removes the warning.

Thanks for the tip!

I would also like to be this PR merged.
CMake now deafaults to 4.0 in a lot of package managers, and version 3.10 is reasonably old for minimum support.
