"Requires" section should not accept `Withdrawn` EIP

Proposed Change

The current EIPW bot allows Final, Living and Withdrawn EIP to be accepted in the "Requires" section.

While Withdrawn is a terminal status, it may not be an EIP which followed the standardization process and may not be a best proposal to be followed (and/or depend on).

Proposal: Active EIP should not be dependent on a Withdrawn EIP and not accepted in "Requires" section.

+0.5

The only reason I can think of for allowing them is if the EIP was created through the "Old GitHub issue -> withdrawn EIP" pathway (which was made specifically so that those EIPs could be depended on).
