macOS configure: validate each Python 3 candidate's version before selecting it

The Darwin python-detection probe picked the first executable path that
existed, then hard-failed later if its hexversion was below the 3.11 floor.
On a host where /usr/bin/python3 is Apple's old Command Line Tools stub
(< 3.11) but a newer interpreter (Homebrew, MacPorts, pyenv) is available
via PATH, this meant configure errored out instead of finding the usable
one. Check each candidate's sys.hexversion inline and keep scanning until
one actually satisfies the floor.
