fix: require Python 3.11, matching the bundled yt-dlp (#289)

* fix: require Python 3.11, matching the bundled yt-dlp

yt-dlp 2026.10.26 refuses to run below Python 3.11, but preinstall still
accepted 3.9, so installs on 3.9/3.10 succeeded and every call then failed
with "Only Python versions 3.11 and above are supported by yt-dlp".

A new test reads the floor from the bundled yt-dlp and compares it with
the one preinstall enforces, so the next bump fails CI instead of users.

* fix: check the python yt-dlp actually runs with

On Unix the yt-dlp zipapp runs through `#!/usr/bin/env python3`, so a
supported `python` never helped when `python3` was too old or missing.
On Windows the downloaded yt-dlp.exe bundles its own Python, so the
check rejected installs that would work.
