Python 3.12 support

[miikka]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

AWS Lambda now has support for Python 3.12. It would be great to have Python 3.12 support in the Python + Collector Lambda layer, too.

Describe the solution you'd like

The included version of OpenTelemetry Python SDK should be bumped to 1.22.0 at least, since that version includes this essential Python 3.12 compatibility fix.

Otherwise I'm not aware of big changes needed.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

@miikka @tylerbenson @rapphil Currently, OTEL Python SDK version 1.26.0 is used for OTEL Python later. So that version should be OK for Python 3.12 support.

But

• we also need to specify supported runtimes in the published layer by runtimes parameter here
• and add 3.12 to the Python version matrix here as part of CI process

[rapphil]

@serkan-ozal makes sense. I don't see any blockers for not supporting Python 3.12.

with #1576 merged, is there a tag/release process to be followed?

[tylerbenson]

I will try to do a release this week.
