Description
Feature request
Is your feature request related to a problem?
We currently have a relatively old version of the Stripe API hardcoded: https://github.com/PostHog/posthog/blob/b49cf7ce821aaf411405d033270b12945af29239/posthog/temporal/data_imports/sources/stripe/stripe.py#L66.
This can lead to inconsistent results, as the schema may change across versions, leading to discrepancies with what users see in other systems outside PostHog.
Describe the solution you'd like
Let users set their desired Stripe API version.

Research direction
Start by reading posthog/temporal/data_imports/sources/stripe/stripe.py around line 66 to understand where the API version is hardcoded and how Stripe imports are configured. Trace the relevant user-facing configuration path, then verify that a selected version is used for imports instead of the fixed version and that existing behavior remains unchanged by default.
