Description
### Describe the feature
Currently, the `Runtime` type is used to set runtime properties, and it is expected to only pass in Python runtimes. This experience could be improved by adding a specific Python runtime property that only has python versions.
### Use Case
Cleanly set the version of the python lambda
### Proposed Solution
Create a new PythonRuntime type - not sure with the specific language syntax of TypeScript, but maybe Runtime can be associated to PythonRuntime in some way? Or maybe instead of `Runtime.PYTHON_3_12`, we can instead do `Runtime.Python.3_12`?

Contributor guide
Research direction
The entry point is the aws-lambda-python-alpha Runtime type and its current Python runtime usages. Read those definitions first, then verify that the public TypeScript API can select Python versions without accepting unrelated runtimes and that existing Lambda runtime selection remains supported.
