chore: update default Python version to 3.14 (#4023)
Update the default Python toolchain version from 3.11 to 3.14 to align
with newer Python releases and provide modern defaults out of the box.
This updates the default toolchain version configurations in the module
extension, documentation, and test suites.

The `python.toolchain()` call makes its contents available under a repo named
