Start defaulting to CUDA 12 in examples #377

Description

RAPIDS supports CUDA 11.x and 12.x, and has for a couple of releases.

Throughout the examples in this repo, most examples default to CUDA 11. For example:

https://github.com/rapidsai/deployment/blob/26ae5ec9a98f54bfd36362bbb02159064c43717c/source/conf.py#L27-L42

I think that in the 24.08 release, should should update the defaults in these docs to encourage the use of CUDA 12.

Benefits of this work

nudges RAPIDS users to move to newer CUDA versions, with all the performance, usability, and other improvements that comes with

Acceptance Criteria

all docs published from this repo use CUDA 12 in examples recommending container images and packages, except those where this is a compelling and specific reason to stay on CUDA 11

Approach

Start from here:

https://github.com/rapidsai/deployment/blob/26ae5ec9a98f54bfd36362bbb02159064c43717c/source/conf.py#L27-L42

And then search through the code for other CUDA 11 and CUDA 12 references. Replace them and test the new references.

I'd say to also update Python to 3.11. It would be good to always promote the latest versions if possible.
