This reverts commit 867396152fcb99055795120750dfda53f85bb414.

Removing `python-version` falls back on the Python bundled with the
runner, making actions/setup-python a no-op. Here, the maintainer
prefers using the latest release of Python 3. This is what `3.x` means:
use the latest release of Python 3.
