Restore table of recently end-of-lifed versions (#413)
* Restore table of recently end-of-lifed versions Now in devcycle.rst. When discussing dropping EOL Python support in projects, referencing this table and its dates is useful. Gives perspective by easily identifying how long a Python version hasn't been supported. The table was removed in commit 4eb2f5c.
