6a7686b44618eabd2f8ee9f1d357cfeb1bce6d91 scripted-diff: Specify Python major version explicitly on Windows (Hennadii Stepanov)

Pull request description:

  On Windows, it is the accepted practice to use `py.exe` launcher:
  - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/python/faqs#what-is-py-exe-
  - https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#python-launcher-for-windows

  One of its features is the correct handling of shebang lines like the one we use: `#!/usr/bin/env python3`.

  However, Windows OS app execution aliases might [interfere](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/python/faqs#why-does-running-python-exe-open-the-microsoft-store-) with the launcher's behaviour. Such aliases are enabled on Windows 11 by default:

  For example, on a fresh Windows 11 Pro installation with the Python installed from the [Chocolatey](https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/python/3.11.4) package manager, one will get the following error:

  This PR resolves this issue by explicitly specifying the Python major version and makes testing of self-compiled binaries more straightforward.
