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.

## Summary
When going through the docs at
https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/install-python/#automatic-python-downloads,
when you try to copy and paste the example on Windows, in either
PowerShell or cmd.exe the example won't work.
Inverting the quotes fixes it, and still works on other shells (I only
tried bash under wsl)
## Test Plan
On any windows system, from powershell, running the example yields the
following error:
```
> uv run --python 3.12 python -c 'print("hello world")'
File "<string>", line 1
print(hello world)
^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Perhaps you forgot a comma?
```
on cmd.exe
```
> uv run --python 3.12 python -c 'print("hello world")'
```
(there is no output)
Inverting the quotes on powershell
```
> uv run --python 3.12 python -c "print('hello world')"
hello world
```
on cmd.exe
```
> uv run --python 3.12 python -c "print('hello world')"
hello world
```
<!-- How was it tested? -->
## Summary
`mkdocs` supports [validation rules for
links](https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/configuration/#validation),
which can be tightened to report more issues than the default
configuration. I used the recommended "maximal strictness" configuration
from the documentation.
Adding the `anchors` rule helped spot 4 errors:
```console
WARNING - Doc file 'guides/install-python.md' contains a link '../concepts/python-versions.md#python-distributions', but the doc 'concepts/python-versions.md' does not contain an anchor '#python-distributions'.
WARNING - Doc file 'guides/install-python.md' contains a link '../concepts/python-versions.md#discovery-order', but the doc 'concepts/python-versions.md' does not contain an anchor '#discovery-order'.
WARNING - Doc file 'guides/projects.md' contains a link '../concepts/projects.md#lock-file', but the doc 'concepts/projects.md' does not contain an anchor '#lock-file'.
WARNING - Doc file 'pip/environments.md' contains a link '../concepts/python-versions.md#discovery-order', but the doc 'concepts/python-versions.md' does not contain an anchor '#discovery-order'.
```
## Test Plan
Local run of the documentation + `mkdocs build --strict`.
To enforce the 100 character line limit in markdown files introduced in
https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/5635, and to automate the
formatting of markdown files, i've added prettier and formatted our
markdown files with it.
I've excluded the changelog and the generated references documentation
from this for having too many changes, but we can also include them.
I'm not particular on which style we use. My main motivations are
(major) not having to reflow markdown files myself anymore and (minor)
consistence between all markdown files. I've chosen prettier for similar
reason as we chose black, it's a single good style that's automated and
shared in the community. I do prefer prettier's style of not breaking
inside of a link name though.
This PR is in two parts, the first adds prettier to CI and documents
using it, while the second actually formats the docs. When merge
conflicts arise, we can drop the last commit and regenerate it with `npx
prettier --prose-wrap always --write BENCHMARKS.md CONTRIBUTING.md
README.md STYLE.md docs/*.md docs/concepts/**/*.md docs/guides/**/*.md
docs/pip/**/*.md`.

## Summary
We want to have consistency between the Ruff and uv documentation for
the upcoming release. We don't love the Ruff docs, but we'd rather have
consistency and then work towards improving them both, rather than have
two very-different documentation sites that both have weaknesses.
The setup here is simpler than in Ruff as: (1) we don't yet generate any
docs from Rust and (2) we don't try to reuse the README in the uv
documentation (which adds a lot of complexity in Ruff). So the change
here is mostly a 1-to-1 port to MkDocs.
## Test Plan
Moving the preview features to top-level concepts and pushing the
pip-compatible interface down.
