Update to Python 3.12 and test to see if anything breaks or is now incompatibile.

Hi @crayolakat! In testing we discovered that PETL does not yet support 3.12, this is a crucial dependency so until PETL updates, we're stuck. Once they've updated, we can circle back and support 3.12

Ok, thanks for looking into this!

@shaunagm -- does this answer and this addition of 3.12 into PETL CI testing mean we we can now consider support for 3.12 not blocked by PETL?

I think supporting Python 3.12 would be beneficial -- 3.12 is the default install for Ubuntu 24 LTS (which is the latest-greatest LTS Ubuntu release)

[shaunagm]

Yes, you're right @jdw25 that PETL is not a blocker. So next step is for someone to open a PR adding 3.12 to our test suite in github actions, and see if everything passes (plus add it to our docs & readme & setup.py as well). If it does, adding 3.12 support is as simple as merging, otherwise we'll have additional work to do.

This should now be complete with #1087

Thank you @jdw25!
