fix(remote-dev): use deadsnakes python3.11 instead of nix for Mason
Nix's python rejects manylinux wheels by design (its libc is patched),
which forced pip in Mason's per-pkg venvs to compile nodejs-wheel-binaries
(pulled in by basedpyright) from source. That source build then failed on
Ubuntu 20.04's gcc 9.4 — Node 24 requires C++20 (g++ >= 12.2.0).
Replace the nix python311-versioned-only derivation with an Ubuntu-native
python3.11 from the deadsnakes PPA. It satisfies Mason's >=3.10 version
requirement, accepts manylinux wheels, and the versioned binary name
leaves /usr/bin/python3 untouched (leaf-tools policy preserved).
