Add Python 3.14t (freethreaded) to testing matrix (#251)

* Add Python 3.14t (freethreaded) to testing matrix

- Added Python 3.14t to the test matrix
- Python 3.14.0 freethreaded is available on all platforms (Ubuntu, Windows, macOS)
- Tests will run on all supported OS and architectures

* Update setup-python to v5.5.0 for freethreaded support

- Upgraded actions/setup-python from v5.2.0 to v5.5.0
- v5.5.0 has better support for freethreaded Python (3.14t)

* Add freethreaded Python verification and update docs

- Added verification step to confirm freethreaded mode is active
- Updated AGENT.md to document 3.14t support
- Verification shows Python version and GIL status for 't' versions

+Here is the current task

+
+I want to run test the latest python 3.14.0 freethreaded version
+Check the  versions-manifest.json and see where the free threaded version of python 3.14.0 is available.
+Make changes to the testing matrix, so that the supported OS and architecture for the freethreaded python in installed and these new tests for this os and arch, along with all old tests work
+
+Please introduce minimal changes to get this done and be clear and concise
