  • modernize Python to 3.12 for EL8, EL9
  • track bookworm packaging which has dropped -mod-python and only has -mod-python3

Since we no longer need to build for CentOS 7, modernize Python to 3.12 in RPM spec file for EL8, EL9 distros.

Why Python 3.12?

  • RHEL8 is at extended maintenance phase; final Python is 3.12
  • RHEL9 ships with Python 3.12
  • (future) RHEL10, now CentOS Stream 10, looks likely to ship Python 3.12 as default (FUTURE: if/else needed as the package is called python3 instead of python3.12)

The choice of 3.12 looks to cover three generations of RHEL.

Addresses: #2654
