sudo apt-get install … python3.12-dev fails on releases whose default Python isn't 3.12 — e.g. Ubuntu Resolute (no python3.12-dev package).

Swap the version-pinned python3.12-dev for the unpinned python3-dev, which depends on the correct dev headers for the release's default Python (3.13 on Resolute/Trixie, 3.12 on Noble, 3.10 on Jammy, …). Fixed in both README.md and DOCUMENTATION.md (identical instruction).

python3.12-dev doesn't exist on releases whose default Python isn't 3.12
(e.g. Ubuntu Resolute), so the install command failed there. python3-dev
pulls the correct dev headers for the running release's default Python
(3.13 on Resolute/Trixie, 3.12 on Noble, ...). Fixed in README.md and
DOCUMENTATION.md.

Poem:
A rabbit hopped through docs so neat,
Swapped a package, made it complete.
No more version tied so tight,
Just python3-dev, simple and right.
Two files updated, hop hop, done —
A tiny fix, a battle won. 🐇
