feat: Add support for Python 3.9 across all backends (#1574)

* Add official support for Python 3.9 and add Python 3.9 to CI
   - Required PR #1001 to get Python 3.9 support of TensorFlow and TensorFlow Probability
* Add Python 3.9 support to PyPI metadata
* Update GitHub Actions workflows to use Python 3.9
   - .github/workflows/release_tests.yml will be updated after pyhf v0.6.3 is released
* Update Dockerfile to use python:3.9-slim-bullseye as base image
