feat(ci): add 3.14/3.15 base images and scenario exclude for downstream gate

Add RE2-safe list-scenarios -exclude and ci.yml test_scenarios_exclude so
wheel-only Python scenarios are not silently skipped. Ship Python 3.14/3.15
base images, dd-trace-py STS trigger policy, and a minimal migration gate
index README; scenario workloads land in follow-up PRs.

+## Downstream from dd-trace-py
+
+dd-trace-py triggers this repo after building wheels for a commit. The
+[`downstream-python.yml`](.github/workflows/downstream-python.yml) workflow
+installs ddtrace from the S3 wheel for that SHA (`DDTRACE_INSTALL_URL`) and
+runs selected Python scenarios.
+
+**Triggers (non-blocking):**
+
+| Source | When | Where to see results |
+|--------|------|----------------------|
+| **GitLab** `prof-correctness` job | After `upload all`; profiling path changes on `main` or MR | [prof-correctness Actions](https://github.com/DataDog/prof-correctness/actions/workflows/downstream-python.yml) — filter by commit SHA |
+| **GitHub** `.github/workflows/prof-correctness.yml` in dd-trace-py | Profiling path changes on PR/push; `workflow_dispatch` | Same Actions page |
+
+Both use [dd-octo-sts](https://github.com/DataDog/dd-octo-sts-action) (`dd-trace-py.gitlab.trigger-ci` / `dd-trace-py.github.trigger-ci`) to call `gh workflow run downstream-python.yml`.
+
+**Inputs:**
+
+- `dd_trace_py_commit_sha` — commit to test (required)
+- `test_scenarios` — regexp passed to `TEST_SCENARIOS` (see the [3.14/3.15 migration gate index](scenarios/python_downstream_gate/README.md); the downstream workflow default alone is `python.*`)
