chore: Include python 3.10 in `.tool-versions`

Tristan Read requested to merge tristan.read-main-patch-99982 into main

Description

One of our dependencies, node-gyp, requires python to be installed. This MR adds python to .tool-versions so that asdf can manage it.

More info: While most ppl will have python installed, it's possible to have a local python setup that doesn't match the repo requirements. In particular - new versions of python dropped some dependencies that node-gyp depends on. This may affect more users as operating system updates get released, for instance MacOS updates can update the system python version.

Some users have noticed issues when trying to build the extension locally, this may have been impacted by recent MacOS / XCode command line tools updates. See https://gitlab.slack.com/archives/C013QJ9NEPL/p1727377662288589.

Similar to gitlab-org/editor-extensions/gitlab-lsp!639 (merged).

(dependent on local python setup - you may not be able to reproduce the original problem).

  1. Clear your /node_modules folder.
  2. Run asdf install.
