## Summary
This PR adds a more flexible cache invalidation abstraction for uv, and
uses that new abstraction to improve support for dynamic metadata.
Specifically, instead of relying solely on a timestamp, we now pass
around a `CacheInfo` struct which (as of now) contains
`Option<Timestamp>` and `Option<Commit>`. The `CacheInfo` is saved in
`dist-info` as `uv_cache.json`, so we can test already-installed
distributions for cache validity (along with testing _cached_
distributions for cache validity).
Beyond the defaults (`pyproject.toml`, `setup.py`, and `setup.cfg`
changes), users can also specify additional cache keys, and it's easy
for us to extend support in the future. Right now, cache keys can either
be instructions to include the current commit (for `setuptools_scm` and
similar) or file paths (for `hatch-requirements-txt` and similar):
```toml
[tool.uv]
cache-keys = [{ file = "requirements.txt" }, { git = true }]
```
This change should be fully backwards compatible.

Our current strategy of parsing the output of `py --list-paths` to get
the installed python versions on windows is brittle (#6524, missing
`py`, etc.) and it's slow (10ms last time i measured).
Instead, we should behave spec-compliant and read the python versions
from the registry following PEP 514.
It's not fully clear which errors we should ignore and which ones we
need to raise.
We're using the official rust-for-windows crates for accessing the
registry.

As described in #4242, we're currently incorrectly downloading glibc
python-build-standalone on musl target, but we also can't fix this by
using musl python-build-standalone on musl targets since the musl builds
are effectively broken.
We reintroduce the libc detection previously removed in #2381, using it
to detect which libc is the current one before we have a python
interpreter. I changed the strategy a big to support an empty `PATH`
which we use in the tests.
For simplicity, i've decided to just filter out the musl
python-build-standalone archives from the list of available archive,
given this is temporary. This means we show the same error message as if
we don't have a build for the platform. We could also add a dedicated
error message for musl.
Fixes#4242
## Test Plan
Tested manually.
On my ubuntu host, python downloads continue to pass:
```
target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/debug/uv python install
```
On alpine, we fail:
```
$ docker run -it --rm -v .:/io alpine /io/target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/debug/uv python install
Searching for Python installations
error: No download found for request: cpython-any-linux-x86_64-musl
```
- Removes "experimental" labels from command documentation
- Removes preview warnings
- Removes `PreviewMode` from most structs and methods — we could keep it
around but I figure we can propagate it again easily where needed in the
future
- Enables preview behavior by default everywhere, e.g., `uv venv` will
download Python versions
## Summary
This PR adds a `DistExtension` field to some of our distribution types,
which requires that we validate that the file type is known and
supported when parsing (rather than when attempting to unzip). It
removes a bunch of extension parsing from the code too, in favor of
doing it once upfront.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/5858.

## Summary

any updates for more than 3 years
## Test Plan
cargo test. it failed locally because I don't have Python 3.12 installed
Search for all `python3.x` minor versions in PATH, skipping those we
already know we can use.
For example, let's say `python` and `python3` are Python 3.10. When a
user requests `>= 3.11`, we still need to find a `python3.12` in PATH.
We do so with a regex matcher.
Fixes#4709
Whew this is a lot.
The user-facing changes are:
- `uv toolchain` to `uv python` e.g. `uv python find`, `uv python
install`, ...
- `UV_TOOLCHAIN_DIR` to` UV_PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR`
- `<UV_STATE_DIR>/toolchains` to `<UV_STATE_DIR>/python` (with
[automatic
migration](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/4735/files#r1663029330))
- User-facing messages no longer refer to toolchains, instead using
"Python", "Python versions" or "Python installations"
The internal changes are:
- `uv-toolchain` crate to `uv-python`
- `Toolchain` no longer referenced in type names
- Dropped unused `SystemPython` type (previously replaced)
- Clarified the type names for "managed Python installations"
- (more little things)
