Test changed setup, and Python 3.12, on CI

Key changes:

- Update the two CI workflows to install the project and its
  dependencies in accordance with the changed recommendations in
  README.md. (This is to test that those recommendations work,
  which the changed test_installation test case partially but not
  completely tests. The old approach to installation still works
  too, so this change on CI is not required to keep CI working.)

- Add Python 3.12 to the CI test matrix in pythonpackage.yml,
  testing it on Ubuntu. (The Cygwin workflow still tests only 3.9.)

Maintenance changes, made to avoid decreasing readability with the
other changes (and hopefully even increase it somewhat):

- Separate commands into more steps, grouping them by more specific
  purposes.

- Decrease the ways the two workflows differ from each other that
  do not represent actual intended behavioral differences. This is
  to make the important differences easier to stop, and to make it
  easier to determine when the same change has or has not been made
  to both workflows.
