Subject: [PATCH] Respect `--project` in `uv format` (#15438)

Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/15431

This is my first contribution, so I'm sorry if I miss something! Didn't
update any documentation nor added tests. Tell me if this is needed for
this feature :smile:

I will try to address https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/15430 in
another PR
