Python >= 3.12 not supported for server

[AaronBandt]

Attempting to spin up arsenal in python >= 3.12 results in an exception:

This is due to the following:

gh-95299: Do not pre-install setuptools in virtual environments created with venv. This means that distutils, setuptools, pkg_resources, and easy_install will no longer available by default; to access these run pip install setuptools in the activated virtual environment.

Packages will likely need to be updated to support python >= 3.12.

• Server updated to support latest version of python
