Support Houdini 20.5+ with Py3.11

[BigRoy]

Changelog Description

This adds support for Houdini version with Py3.11 like Houdini 20.5.262 which is currently in beta available to all users on an active subscription starting today.

Additional info

Note that the trick for Houdini 20.0.xxx application environment where we prepended the Houdini Python libs to the environment seemed redundant for 20.5.xxx since I got no python library conflicts with AYON so it seemed. However, if you do find anything. You might need something like:

{
    "HOUDINI_VERSION": "20.5.262",
    "PYTHONPATH": [
        "C:/Program Files/Side Effects Software/Houdini {HOUDINI_VERSION}/python311/lib/site-packages",
        "{PYTHONPATH}"
    ]
}

More details on that Houdini 20 workaround here.

There are some other Py3.11 notes to consider, I'm getting e.g. these warnings:

On start:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Ynput\AYON\dependency_packages\ayon_2403061937_windows.zip\dependencies\future\standard_library\__init__.py:65: DeprecationWarning: the imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib and slated for removal in Python 3.12; see the module's documentation for alternative uses

(This isn't really Py3.11 or Houdini related I suppose)

Aside of that all the tools do seem to work completely fine.

Testing notes:

1. Install Houdini 20.5.262
2. Add the application to settings and your project
3. Launch within AYON
4. Everything should work in the integration

@iLLiCiTiT some of those deprecation warnings might be interesting for you to consider?

[MustafaJafar]

I don't have 20.5. can't test it.

I don't have 20.5. can't test it.

Do we know anyone else capable of testing - maybe @krishna8008 ?

I'll close this PR and reopen it on separated ayon-houdini repo once the addon separation has finished.
