docs(guides): Update Ubuntu reference to 24.04

Browse Source 
Update the installation and administration guides to reference
Ubuntu 24.04 instead of 22.04 where applicable, and refresh examples
to match NetBox v4.5.

This includes updates to Python version requirements, NetBox shell
commands, Redis configuration, and sample outputs to align with current
compatibility and best practices.

Fixes #21297

NetBox includes a Python management shell within which objects can be directly queried, created, modified, and deleted. To enter the shell, run the following command:
```
./manage.py nbshell
cd /opt/netbox
source /opt/netbox/venv/bin/activate
python3 netbox/manage.py nbshell
```
This will launch a lightly customized version of [the built-in Django shell](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/django-admin/#shell) with all relevant NetBox models pre-loaded. (If desired, the stock Django shell is also available by executing `./manage.py shell`.)
