Python 3.12 SyntaxWarnings when installing python3-ipaclient

[Janne Blomqvist]

On a system with python 3.12 installing the python ipaclient package (this is on Ubuntu 24.04 using the distro packages) produces the warnings:

I reported the issue upstream at https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/9565 where it has already been fixed, including in the 4.10 branch that Ubuntu 24.04 is on. Please rebase to a version that has that commit (though it's just a warning shown at install time, so not the end of the world either).
