Use uv instead of pip to manage virtualenvs

[jherland]

uv is much faster than pip for installing package (it is also faster then python -m venv for creating virtualenvs). This PR switches from venv/pip to uv in three separate parts of our project:

1. Instruct Nox to use uv instead of pip to manage the virtualenv associated with each Nox session (first commit).
2. Use uv instead of venv/pip (when available) to manage virtualenvs for our sample_project and real_projects tests (next three commits).
3. Use uv instead of venv/pip (when available) to create and populate the temporary virtualenv managed by the --install-deps option (next two commits).

The first two points above only concern our tests and has no effect on the FawltyDeps program itself. The last one changes the behavior of the --install-deps option to use uv when available (otherwise fall back to venv/pip).

The last commit in this PR adds a small convenience for our users: If they want to ensure that uv is available for FawltyDeps to use, they can now install fawltydeps[uv]. This uv extra will bring in uv as a dependency in much the same way that we currently depend on nox[uv] in our own developement environment.

Commits:

• Use uv instead of pip to manage nox virtualenvs
• tests/project_helpers: Use uv (if available) to prepare virtualenvs
• .github/workflows/tests.yaml: Preserve uv cache across test runs
• Sidestep issues installing projectq with 'uv pip install'
• Prepare to decouple --install-deps from pip
• TemporaryAutoInstallResolver: Use uv if available
• pyproject.toml: Add uv as an "extra" dependency for FawltyDeps

Thank you @jherland 🫶

I started checking the PR by looking at all usages of "pip". There are some places where we can consider updating the text or a name:

1. FawltyDeps/README.md

   Line 442 in 57ebc4c

   FawltyDeps into a temporary virtual environment. This will use `pip install`,

   :
   "This will use pip install" -> "This will use uv pip install and fall back to pip install if uv is not available"

2. FawltyDeps/docs/DesignDoc.md

   Line 192 in 57ebc4c

   pip show myLibrary

   
   Should we also include uv instructions? Or should we only apply it in the developer context?

3. FawltyDeps/tests/conftest.py

   Lines 33 to 34 in 57ebc4c

   	# set the test's env variables so that pip would install from the local repo
   	monkeypatch.setenv("PIP_NO_INDEX", "True")

4. FawltyDeps/tests/project_helpers.py

   Lines 178 to 179 in 57ebc4c

   	requirements: List[str] # PEP 508 requirements, passed to 'pip install'

5. FawltyDeps/tests/test_install_deps.py

   Lines 29 to 30 in 57ebc4c

   	def test_resolve_dependencies_install_deps__raises_unresolved_error_on_pip_install_failure(
   	caplog,

   does this still hold for uv?

Thank you @jherland for handling that ❤️

I did a small test before and after installing UV on detect-waste project and the results are awesome!

(fawltydeps-py3.11) ➜  detect-waste git:(main) time fawltydeps --install-deps
...
For a more verbose report re-run with the `--detailed` option.
fawltydeps --install-deps  23.11s user 6.87s system 88% cpu 34.040 total

vs 🎉

(fawltydeps-py3.11) ➜  detect-waste git:(main) time fawltydeps --install-deps
...
For a more verbose report re-run with the `--detailed` option.
fawltydeps --install-deps  5.21s user 4.54s system 43% cpu 22.191 total

The --install-deps option will be much more usable now, thank you!

I did not meticulously check all the changes you made, but given that you did not have to change any test of our rich tests suite, I am confident (99% 😄 ) it works without errors.

Agreed. Look at f2d359c for my rewordings.

monkeypatch.setenv("PIP_NO_INDEX", "True")
does this still hold for uv?

Actually it does not! 🙀

Furthermore, although uv supports some UV_* environment variables that mirror the PIP_* equivalents, these settings/variables cannot yet be set via the environment. I found a workaround instead that relies on setting up a (temporary) config file for uv. Take a look at 2795898 for the details.
