aws-cli/install step fails using [email protected] on xcode 15.4.0

[nick-ohhh]

Utilizing the install command as part of the aws-cli orb results in a step failing during jobs. The error seems to be python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully, while using python 3.12.

Manually updating pip from 23.3.2 -> 24.2 does not resolve this issue.

Apparently the installation from source doesn't work when having python 3.12, I have created an issue on aws-cli with more details here.
For now I will add a feature to install using brew to the orb. If that's not an option on this case, the other alternative is to use python 3.11.
Unfortunately AWS hasn't provided an official way to install the aws-cli on Apple Silicon, so these two are the alternatives.

The new version https://circleci.com/developer/orbs/orb/circleci/aws-cli?version=5.1.0 has the support for brew installation.
