It's odd having python311 for the full build but only python for the
randconfig build.

IIRC, it's just for Qemu, so there is a split based on whether we build
tools or not.

What will happen when python becomes 3.12?  Does pkg have a way of
asking "I want any python as long as it's 3.11 or later" ?

Relatedly, how likely is python to transform into 3.12 in a bump to the
minor FreeBSD versions?
