Add PEX lock file export support

- Add ExportFormat::PexLock with format detection for
  .pex.lock/.pex.json files
  - Implement complete PEX lock file JSON schema with
  proper serialization
  - Use correct 3-component platform tags ['py', 'none',
  'any'] for universal compatibility
  - Support separate algorithm/hash fields in artifacts
  (fixes PEX parser errors)
  - Add robust error handling that skips invalid artifacts
  - Include comprehensive metadata: pex_version, build
  settings, requirements
  - Support both wheels and source distributions with
  proper URL handling
  - Add module documentation and unit tests

  Enables seamless integration with PEX packaging tools and
   Pantsbuild workflows.

+//! PEX lock file format support.

+//! This module provides functionality to export UV lock files to the PEX lock format,
+//! which is used by the PEX packaging tool and Pantsbuild for reproducible Python builds.
+//!
+//! The PEX lock format is a JSON-based format that includes:
+//! - Package metadata and version constraints
+//! - Platform-specific resolves with 3-component platform tags
+//! - Artifact information with separate algorithm and hash fields
+//! - Build and resolution configuration
