V2 support for Python 3.12

[ericbn]

Describe the feature

aws-cli V2 currently supports:

• 3.8.x
• 3.9.x
• 3.10.x
• 3.11.x

Add support for Python 3.12.x too.

Use Case

I installed aws-cli V2 using Homebrew, and it's the last tool I have installed still using Python 3.11. But more importantly, I believe this helps keep V2 up-to-date.

Proposed Solution

Add support for Python 3.12.x too.

Other Information

Python 3.12 was first released on 2023-10-02 and has EOL scheduled for 2028-10. See https://devguide.python.org/versions/

Thanks @ericbn - this was recently added to the v1 README. There is still more testing required for Python 3.12 on v2, but the v2 README will be updated when that is complete.

Also for installing v2 of the AWS CLI we recommend using one of the options documented here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html.

@tim-finnigan not one of the options listed mention a package manager for the installation, which is a surprisingly common thing to want, so it's easy for a fellow user to see where @ericbn is coming from.

Is there any time frame for adding python 3.12 support? Alpine Linux is upgrading python to 3.12.

#8217 needs to be merged first. ruamel.yaml.clib versions before 0.2.8 don't support Python 3.12.

Besides ruamel.yaml.clib, PyInstaller also needs an update: #8245. The relevant pull request #8570 is not merged yet.
