Aria Desires ba73231164 add pip-compatible --group flag to uv pip install and uv pip compile (#11686)
This is a minimal redux of #10861 to be compatible with `uv pip`.

This implements the interface described in:
https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/13065#issuecomment-2544000876 for `uv
pip install` and `uv pip compile`. Namely `--group <[path:]name>`, where
`path` when not defined defaults to `pyproject.toml`.

In that interface they add `--group` to `pip install`, `pip download`,
and `pip wheel`. Notably we do not define `uv pip download` and `uv pip
wheel`, so for parity we only need to implement `uv pip install`.
However, we also support `uv pip compile` which is not part of pip
itself, and `--group` makes sense there too.

----

The behaviour of `--group` for `uv pip` commands makes sense for the
cases upstream pip supports, but has confusing meanings in cases that
only we support (because reading pyproject.tomls is New Tech to them but
heavily supported by us). **Specifically case (h) below is a concerning
footgun, and case (e) below may get complaints from people who aren't
well-versed in dependency-groups-as-they-pertain-to-wheels.**


## Only Group Flags

Group flags on their own work reasonably and uncontroversially, except
perhaps that they don't do very clever automatic project discovery.

a) `uv pip install --group path/to/pyproject.toml:mygroup` pulls up
`path/to/project.toml` and installs all the packages listed by its
`mygroup` dependency-group (essentially treating it like another kind of
requirements.txt). In this regard it functions similarly to
`--only-group` in the rest of uv's interface.

b) `uv pip install --group mygroup` is just sugar for `uv pip install
--group pyproject.toml:mygroup` (**note that no project discovery
occurs**, upstream pip simply hardcodes the path "pyproject.toml" here
and we reproduce that.)

c) `uv pip install --group a/pyproject.toml:groupx --group
b/pyproject.toml:groupy`, and any other instance of multiple `--group`
flags, can be understood as completely independent requests for the
given groups at the given files.


## Groups With Named Packages

Groups being mixed with named packages also work in a fairly
unsurprising way, especially if you understand that things like
dependency-groups are not really supposed to exist on pypi, they're just
for local development.

d) `uv pip install mypackage --group path/to/pyproject.toml:mygroup`
much like multiple instances of `--group` the two requests here are
essentially completely independent: pleases install `mypackage`, and
please also install `path/to/pyproject.toml:mygroup`.

e) `uv pip install mypackage --group mygroup` is exactly the same, but
this is where it becomes possible for someone to be a little confused,
as you might think `mygroup` is supposed to refer to `mypackage` in some
way (it can't). But no, it's sourcing `pyproject.toml:mygroup` from the
current working directory.


## Groups With Requirements/Sourcetrees/Editables

Requirements and sourcetrees are where I expect users to get confused.
It behaves *exactly* the same as it does in the previous sections but
you would absolutely be forgiven for expecting a different behaviour.
*Especially* because `--group` with the rest of uv *does* do something
different.

f) `uv pip install -r a/pyproject.toml --group b/pyproject.toml:mygroup`
is again just two independent requests (install `a/pyproject.toml`'s
dependencies, and `b/pyproject.toml`'s `mygroup`).

g) `uv pip install -r pyproject.toml --group mygroup` is exactly like
the previous case but *incidentally* the two requests refer to the same
file. What the user wanted to happen is almost certainly happening, but
they are likely getting "lucky" here that they're requesting something
simple.

h) `uv pip install -r a/pyproject.toml --group mygroup` is again exactly
the same but the user is likely to get surprised and upset as this
invocation actually sources two different files (install
`a/pyproject.toml`'s dependencies, and `pyproject.toml`'s `mygroup`)! I
would expect most people to assume the `--group` flag here is covering
all applicable requirements/sourcetrees/editables, but no, it continues
to be a totally independent reference to a file with a hardcoded
relative path.
