CMake: react to python version changes
The new FindPython-based variant of the CMake scripts caches information about the chosen Python version that can become stale. For example, suppose I configure a simple pybind11-based project as follows ``` cmake -S . -B build -GNinja -DPython_ROOT=<path to python 3.8> ``` which will generate `my_extension.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so`. A subsequent change to the python version like ``` cmake -S . -B build -GNinja -DPython_ROOT=<path to python 3.9> ``` does not update all necessary build system information. In particular, the compiled file is still called `my_extension.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so`. This commit fixes the problem by detecting changes in `Python_EXECUTABLE` and re-running Python as needed. Note that the previous way of detecting Python does not seem to be affected, it always specifies the right suffix.
