OpenBMC Test Repository: Pre-work for Python 3.12 changes and packages update

[GEORGE KEISHING]

Greeting,

                This is to notify that; the latest code supports Python 3.12 for the OpenBMC test repository.

               We went ahead and updated the robot framework version as well for testing and other dependent packages, and it is currently stable.
               Robot Framework 7.2.2 (Python 3.12.9 on linux)

               Expect changes around documentation, deprecating older code, newer syntax for robot framework and python related changes for 3.12.

               Refer previous notification if there are outages in your setup for production with the latest OpenBMC test code.

               Please reach us out on discord for any further queries: https://discord.gg/Uw9vhsJJ  or mailing list https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/openbmc/      openbmc at lists.ozlabs.org<mailto:openbmc at lists.ozlabs.org>
