## Summary
`mkdocs` supports [validation rules for
links](https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/configuration/#validation),
which can be tightened to report more issues than the default
configuration. I used the recommended "maximal strictness" configuration
from the documentation.
Adding the `anchors` rule helped spot 4 errors:
```console
WARNING - Doc file 'guides/install-python.md' contains a link '../concepts/python-versions.md#python-distributions', but the doc 'concepts/python-versions.md' does not contain an anchor '#python-distributions'.
WARNING - Doc file 'guides/install-python.md' contains a link '../concepts/python-versions.md#discovery-order', but the doc 'concepts/python-versions.md' does not contain an anchor '#discovery-order'.
WARNING - Doc file 'guides/projects.md' contains a link '../concepts/projects.md#lock-file', but the doc 'concepts/projects.md' does not contain an anchor '#lock-file'.
WARNING - Doc file 'pip/environments.md' contains a link '../concepts/python-versions.md#discovery-order', but the doc 'concepts/python-versions.md' does not contain an anchor '#discovery-order'.
```
## Test Plan
Local run of the documentation + `mkdocs build --strict`.
This PR rewrites the resolver concept and adds a resolver internals page
targeted at power users.
The new resolution concept documentation has three parts:
* An introduction for people how never heard of "resolution" before, and
a motivating example what it does. I've also shoved the part about
equally valid resolutions in there.
* Features you commonly use: Non-universal vs. universal resolution,
lowest resolution amd pre-releases.
* Expert features, we don't advertise them, you'll only need them in
complex cases when you already know and i kept them to the reference
points you need in this case: Constraints, overrides and exclude-newer.
I intentionally didn't lay out any detail of the resolution itself, the
idea is that users get a vague sense of "uv has to select fitting
versions", but then they learn the options they have to use and some
common failure points without ever coming near SAT or even graphs.
The resolution internals reference page is targeted at power users who
need to understand what is going on behind the scenes. It assumes ample
prior knowledge and exists to explain the uv-specific behaviors for
someone who already understands dependency resolution conceptually and
has interacted with their dependency tree before. I had a section on the
lockfile but removed it because it found the lockfile to be too
self-documenting.
I haven't touched the readme.

Starting a discussion.
I find the navigation bar too long and verbose, it's overwhelming. I
think we either need to either:
- Limit the depth of the navigation bar (i.e. via `toc_depth: 2`)
- Move the table of contents out of the navigation bar over to the right
side
I prefer the second, though I think we ought to do some styling to
improve the aesthetics.
## Summary
We want to have consistency between the Ruff and uv documentation for
the upcoming release. We don't love the Ruff docs, but we'd rather have
consistency and then work towards improving them both, rather than have
two very-different documentation sites that both have weaknesses.
The setup here is simpler than in Ruff as: (1) we don't yet generate any
docs from Rust and (2) we don't try to reuse the README in the uv
documentation (which adds a lot of complexity in Ruff). So the change
here is mostly a 1-to-1 port to MkDocs.
