Simplify managed Python flags (#12246)

Browse source

Currently, for users to specify at the command line whether to use
uv-managed or system Python interpreters, they use the
`--python-preference` parameter, which takes four possible values. This
is more complex than necessary since the normal case is to either say
"only managed" or "not managed". This PR hides the old
`--python-preference` parameter from help and documentation and adds two
new flags: `--managed-python` and `--no-managed-python` to capture the
"only managed" and "not managed" cases.

I have successfully tested this locally but currently cannot add
snapshot tests because of problems with distinguishing managed vs.
system interpreters in CI (and non-determinism when run on different
developers' machines). The `--python-preference` test in
`tool-install.rs` is currently ignored for this reason. See #5144 and
#7473.
