Use Python 3.12 as the default Python version (#152)

Previously if an app did not specify a Python version via a
`runtime.txt` file, then the buildpack would default to the latest
Python 3.11 release.

Now the buildpack will use the latest Python 3.12 release.

Use-cases involving new apps that aren't compatible with Python 3.12
will now need to specify Python 3.11 explicitly.

However most apps should be compatible, since Python 3.12 was released
a couple of months ago (2023-10-02), does not contain significant breaking
changes over Python 3.11, and has been happily used by the
python-getting-started project since 2023-10-04.

Note: For the Python CNB, this change also affects existing apps,
since the CNB no longer uses the "stick versions" approach used
by the classic Python buildpack.
