chore: updates continuous CI/CD tests against specific versions of Py…

…thon (#1941)

Updates the regular continuous CI/CD checks to test against specific versions of Python (versions that aren't our most recent supported version and aren't our oldest supported version).

Also removes a CI/CD check that is superceded by a more recent version of check (prerelease-deps >>> replaced by prerelease-deps-3.12).

Modifies owlbot to avoid it adding prerelease-deps back into the mix since that file is a default in synthtool.
