python: Add task for running modules (#26462)

Closes #26460

I am new to contributing to Zed (and pretty new to Rust in general). I'm
not too familiar with code style, guidelines etc. so please feel free to
suggest changes/improvements.

This PR adds a run icon to Python files that have a "main" function:
```python
if __name__ == "__main__":
    ...
```

In addition to the gutter icon, there is now also an extra task in the
command palette "run module".

Release Notes:

- Added detection for runnable Python modules
- Added Python-specific task to run a Python file as a module from
inside the project's scope
