Sporadically missing patch versions on python-versions for arm64

[chris-griffin]

Description: Linux arm64 support was recently added to python-versions (https://github.com/actions/python-versions/pull/274). Many supported arm64 versions are available on main now (search for arm64) as you can see here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/actions/python-versions/main/versions-manifest.json.

These are the versions available (excluding non-releases). As you can see many patch versions are inextricably missing:

• 3.12.0-3.12.4 (all present)
• 3.11.3-3.11.9 (missing 3.11.0-3.11.2)
• 3.10.11 (missing 3.10.0-3.10.10 and missing the latest patch 3.10.12-3.10.14 )
• 3.9.13 (missing 3.9.0-3.9.12 and missing the latest patch 3.9.14-3.9.19)
• 3.8.10 (missing 3.8.0-3.8.9 and missing the latest patch 3.8.11-3.8.19)

However, many patch versions of python are missing. For example,

Action version: All

Platform:

• [x] Ubuntu
• [ ] macOS
• [ ] Windows

Runner type:

• [x] Hosted
• [ ] Self-hosted

Tools version:

• 3.11.0-3.11.2
• 3.10.0-3.10.10 and 3.10.12-3.10.14
• 3.9.0-3.9.12 and 3.9.14-3.9.19
• 3.8.0-3.8.9 and 3.8.11-3.8.19

Repro steps:
Go to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/actions/python-versions/main/versions-manifest.json and try to find the 3.9.19 version for "arch": "arm64" (or for any other version listed under the Tools version section)

Expected behavior: All patch python versions listed under the Tools version section should be available for arm64

Actual behavior: All patch python versions listed under the Tools version section are not available for arm64

This was partially addressed in https://github.com/actions/python-versions/pull/289

For example, python-3.9.19-linux-22.04-arm64.tar.gz is now available although python-3.9.19-darwin-arm64.tar.gz remains unavailable. Additionally, 3.9.0-3.9.12 and 3.9.14-3.9.18 are still missing.
