Remove pin on Pylint to support Python 3.11/3.12

* pylintrc and tests/pylintrc generated with Pylint 3.1.0 by running
  "pylint --generate-rcfile" in a Python 3.12 virtual environment.
* Tweaked code and "pylintrc" files so that Pylint checks all pass.
* Add Python 3.11 and Python 3.12 to matrix in tests.yml.
* Publish using Python 3.12 in publish.yml.
* Closes #234.
