[SPARK-58586][DOC] Use a supported Python version in the RDD guide
PYSPARK_PYTHON example
### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Updates the `PYSPARK_PYTHON=python3.8` example in
`docs/rdd-programming-guide.md` to `python3.11`.
### Why are the changes needed?
The same page states that Spark works with Python 3.11+ about thirty lines
above this example, and the build pins `python_requires>=3.11`, so the
python3.8 example is stale and internally inconsistent.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No.
### How was this patch tested?
Documentation only. No tests needed.
### Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?
