Read Python version from .tool-versions (#996)

## Summary
- read the Python version from an explicitly selected `.tool-versions`
file
- preserve `python-version` and existing `UV_PYTHON` precedence
- add parser, input, and workflow coverage and update documentation and
bundled action artifacts

## Validation
- `npm run all`
- `actionlint .github/workflows/test.yml`
- `uvx zizmor .github/workflows/test.yml`

Closes #983
