Swapping to python-uv for building and distribution (#3407)

* Swapping to python-uv for building archinstall

* Tweaked UV parameters to not use a venv

* Tweaking uv to not resolve/install any dependencies during installation.

* Added remaining dependencies to the build runner

* Swapped to uv for publishing, using pypi 'trusted publisher' instead of token access

* Installing uv and dependencies for publishing

* Swapped to uv in the building of the test ISO
