Python: Autodetect version issue (26.2) [STUD-78782]

[viogroza]

Search for python and python3 when detecting python
Search in the install folder and in ../bin folder
Remove no longer needed preprocessor directive

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

Updates Python runtime autodetection to be more flexible across installations and simplifies OS detection logic by removing now-unneeded preprocessor guards.

Changes:

• Extend Python autodetection to probe multiple executable names (python/python3) and locations (<path> and <path>/bin).
• Refactor autodetection to try multiple candidates and aggregate failures for easier troubleshooting.
• Remove #if NETCOREAPP guards around RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(...) checks.
