It would be cool to have Python 3.9 or higher available in the default Linux container (currently it's 3.8).

Relates to: Codespaces

@samruddhikhandale @edgonmsft @bratsche - would one of you want to give this a go? Might be a nice exercise for familiarizing for new-kitchensink

RIght now we pass none to the python-debian script, so looks like we just utilize what oryx is giving us. We can strategically use the installation from our scripts, if we want.

Looks like Python 3.10 is shipped now.
