Update install docs with correct Python, CUDA, cuDNN, and OS versions
The install guides had several outdated version references that no longer match TensorFlow 2.21's tested build configurations: - Python: 3.9-3.12 -> 3.10-3.13 - CUDA Toolkit: 12.3 -> 12.5 - cuDNN SDK: 8.9.7 -> 9.3 - Ubuntu minimum: 16.04 -> 20.04 - macOS minimum: 10.12.6 (Sierra) -> 12.0 (Monterey) - Windows minimum: 7 -> 10 - Windows Native conda example: python=3.9 -> python=3.11 - Windows Native pip example: tensorflow<2.11 -> tensorflow (CPU-only) - Windows source build: Python 3.9+ -> 3.10+ Contributes to #111734 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
