feat(toolchains): expose the //python/config_settings:python_version_major_minor

With this change the users can simply reuse our internal flag that will
correctly report the `X.Y` version in `select` statements. If users
previously depended on now removed `is_python_config_setting` now they
have an alternative.

Followup to #2253
