Description

On python 3.11 sphinx-autoapi requires astroid=~3 however it's fully functional with newer versions of astroids. Once we move to Python 3.12 as the default requirements builder python version, we can unpin this constraint.

Research direction

Search the requirements and builder configuration for the sphinx-autoapi and astroid version constraint. First confirm that Python 3.12 is the default requirements-builder version, then remove the constraint and run the requirements build. Done means the build succeeds with newer astroid versions and no longer pins the old constraint.
