Add a `--python` flag to allow installation into arbitrary Python interpreters (#2000)
## Summary
This PR adds a `--python` flag that allows users to provide a specific
Python interpreter into which `uv` should install packages. This would
replace the `VIRTUAL_ENV=` workaround that folks have been using to
install into arbitrary, system environments, while _also_ actually being
correct for installing into non-virtual environments, where the bin and
site-packages paths can differ.
The approach taken here is to use `sysconfig.get_paths()` to get the
correct paths from the interpreter, and then use those for determining
the `bin` and `site-packages` directories, rather than constructing them
based on hard-coded expectations for each platform.
- Verified that, on my Windows machine, I was able to install `requests`
into a global environment with: `cargo run pip install requests --python
'C:\\Users\\crmarsh\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python3.12\\python.exe`,
then `python` and `import requests`.
- Verified that, on macOS, I was able to install `requests` into a
global environment installed via Homebrew with: `cargo run pip install
requests --python $(which python3.8)`.

Un-cache editable requirements with dynamic metadata (#2029)
In this context, we already know (as the comment says) that `self` does
not have a local segment, so we don't need to strip it.
This change isn't motivated by anything other than making the code and
comment in sync. For example, when I first looked at it, I wondered
whether the extra stripping was somehow necessary. But it isn't.
* Document good first issues
* Document `scripts` directory, as far as useful for contributors
* Remove compare with pip script, we don't need it anymore
