Remove python_new_version feature flag and irrelevant code

[amazimbe]

What are you trying to accomplish?

Remove a feature flag and code that is no longer needed.

The feature flag was added in this PR to ensure the new python version changes could be turned off easily if necessary.

It also removes old code from the previous implementation that is no longer relevant e.g the old version regex.

Anything you want to highlight for special attention from reviewers?

Seems this is removing both the feature flag and (some of) the old version code?

Yes, it also removes the old versioning code that's no longer applicable in the new version. It replaces the old regex with the new one, for example.
