www/py-graphite-web: Drop dependency on sysutils/py-scandir

Based on static analysis, I conclude that www/py-graphite-web supports scandir
from the standard library and will preferentially use it when it is available.
Therefore, the port can unconditionally drop the dependency because it is
already limited to Python 3.5 and newer. I have reported a bug [0] and proposed
a patch [1] upstream.

sysutils/scandir should be limited to python:3.6-3.8
