Pull request overview

This PR bumps the pinned home-assistant/wheels GitHub Action and the Docker BASE_IMAGE_VERSION to 2026.07.0, which moves the build/wheel toolchain to Alpine 3.24. It is a routine CI/build dependency upgrade affecting only GitHub workflow files.

I verified the upgrade is correct and consistent:

• The pinned commit 9e17ab1ed5c4c79d8b61e29fa63de25ca2710716 matches the 2026.07.0 tag in home-assistant/wheels.
• The 2026.07.0 release exists in home-assistant/docker, and its notes confirm the Alpine 3.24 update referenced in the PR title.
• Both wheels action references were updated; no stale 2026.06.0/old-SHA wheels references remain.

Changes:

• Bump home-assistant/wheels action pin to 2026.07.0 (both build jobs in wheels.yml).
• Bump BASE_IMAGE_VERSION from 2026.05.0 to 2026.07.0 in builder.yml.
