fix(debugger): debug Python with python, not python3, on Windows (#2159)

Debugging a Python configuration with no interpreter path (a global `pytest`, `uv run`, `poetry run`) set debugpy's adapter Python to a hardcoded `python3`. On Windows that is at most a Store alias, and the debugpy venv the IDE installs has only `python.exe`, so the managed debugpy was skipped.

The launch now uses `python` on Windows, based on the host OS so remote sessions follow the server. Other platforms are unchanged.

Sibling covered: `debugLauncherPython` uses the same fallback.
