Carlo 57bab9e5ec Allow Python script-only packages (#49070)
**Related issue:** Resolves #41470

Adds support for uploading Python (`.py`) script-only software packages
— accepted as script-only (the file contents become the install script;
advanced options and automatic install follow `.sh`/`.ps1`), assigned
the new `py_packages` source, and installable on macOS and Linux hosts
across the UI, REST API, and GitOps.

Feature branch combining the backend (#48942) and frontend (#48946)
sub-PRs.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Added support for Python (`.py`) script-only software packages across
UI uploads, API/self-service installs, and GitOps parsing.
* Python installers now derive metadata correctly and render the proper
Python icon, with install eligibility for macOS & Linux.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved installer-script validation and “supported file types” error
messages to include `.py` (and consistent handling of related script
fields/options).
* **Tests**
* Expanded unit, integration, and GitOps tests to cover Python package
parsing, metadata derivation, platform/host eligibility, and UI
rendering.
