Following #5869, the documentation has some less-than-helpful
suggestions to use `uv help python` for details — we should link to the
`uv python` section instead.
## Summary
After referring to https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/5637 and doing
additional testing.
The default value in a stable state seems more reasonable to be
``only-system``. ``managed`` in preview.

```
test on uv 0.2.33 (build from
257007ccaf)
### Stable version
``uv venv -p 3.10`` is ``3.10.11`` (System Python)
``uv venv -p 3.9`` is ``No interpreter found``(3.9.19 for managed
Python)
``uv venv -p 3.9 --python-preference only-system`` is ``No interpreter
found``(fail)
``uv venv -p 3.9 --python-preference only-managed`` is
``3.9.19``(success)
Do not use managed Python, only use the system Python, so it can be
determined as ``only-system``.
### Preview mode
**Note:** ``3.10.14`` is managed python, ``3.10.11`` is system python.
``uv venv -p 3.11 --preview`` is ``3.11.9`` (System Python)
``uv venv -p 3.10 --preview`` is ``3.10.14``
``uv venv -p 3.10 --preview --python-preference only-managed`` is
``3.10.14``
``uv venv -p 3.10 --preview --python-preference managed`` is ``3.10.14``
``uv venv -p 3.10 --preview --python-preference system`` is ``3.10.11``
``venv -p 3.10 --preview --python-preference only-system`` is
``3.10.11``
Prioritize the managed Python and then select the system Python, so it
can be determined as ``managed``.

fixed#5754
## Test Plan
Run website in local.
This PR rewrites the resolver concept and adds a resolver internals page
targeted at power users.
The new resolution concept documentation has three parts:
* An introduction for people how never heard of "resolution" before, and
a motivating example what it does. I've also shoved the part about
equally valid resolutions in there.
* Features you commonly use: Non-universal vs. universal resolution,
lowest resolution amd pre-releases.
* Expert features, we don't advertise them, you'll only need them in
complex cases when you already know and i kept them to the reference
points you need in this case: Constraints, overrides and exclude-newer.
I intentionally didn't lay out any detail of the resolution itself, the
idea is that users get a vague sense of "uv has to select fitting
versions", but then they learn the options they have to use and some
common failure points without ever coming near SAT or even graphs.
The resolution internals reference page is targeted at power users who
need to understand what is going on behind the scenes. It assumes ample
prior knowledge and exists to explain the uv-specific behaviors for
someone who already understands dependency resolution conceptually and
has interacted with their dependency tree before. I had a section on the
lockfile but removed it because it found the lockfile to be too
self-documenting.
I haven't touched the readme.

## Summary
Partially resolves#5561. Haven't added overrides support yet but I can
add it tomorrow if the current approach for constraints is ok.
## Test Plan
`cargo test`
Manually checked trace logs after changing the constraints.
