Netmiko 4.3.0 Release

Security

• Netmiko's session_log has certain scenarios where it was failing to hide the default no_log items ("secret" and "password"). This bug has generally been fixed though there are likely edge scenarios where this could still happen. Given the nature of the session_log it should always be viewed as a security sensitive file.

• Drop PY3.7 support
