feat: Prefilter Shard Records on Python Minor Version

[jjerphan]

Description

Comes after #4187 and #4220.

Since the minor versions python is pinned in users' environments, we can prefilter records in shards using it to only selected relevant builds.

This definitely eases the installation of packages depending on python, by reducing the number of clauses within the solver and thus the time spent and RAM used resolving the environments. For instance for pyarrow, it reduces the time spent by 5 and the memory footprint by 20.

If python is not installed, we first try to prefilter builds depending on a fallback minor version (python 3.14 proposed), before potentially retrying without (current behavior) if this fallback minor version cannot be used.
