absltest: do not fail tests on Python 3.12+ when no tests ran AND:

- Either test filtering is used
- Sharding is used and the shard index > 0, i.e. only the first shard will fail when no tests ran on Python 3.12+.

Context: Python 3.12 unittest will now fail when no tests ran after the change from python/cpython#102051. Since `absltest` is built on top of `unittest`, it will follow this behavior change in Python 3.12.

However, when test filtering is used in `absltest`, often used via `bazel test --test_filter=<my_filter>`, the current user expectation is the `bazel test` command should NOT fail is at least one test ran. Since the test runner here has no visibility of the overall `bazel` invocation, we'll make the test not fail when test filtering is used via bazel's environment variable. This is the existing behavior before Python 3.12.

Also test absl-py on Python 3.12.

 *   `absl-py` no longer supports Python 3.6. It has reached end-of-life for more
     than a year now.
+*   Support Python 3.12.
 *   (logging) `logging.exception` can now take `exc_info` as argument, with
