This fixes a bug where `uv pip install` failed to install `polars`:
```
$ uv pip install polars==0.14.0
error: Failed to download: polars==0.14.0
Caused by: Couldn't parse metadata of polars-0.14.0-cp37-abi3-manylinux_2_12_x86_64.manylinux2010_x86_64.whl from 749022b096/polars-0.14.0-cp37-abi3-manylinux_2_12_x86_64.manylinux2010_x86_64.whl
Caused by: Operator >= cannot be used with a wildcard version specifier
pyarrow>=4.0.*; extra == 'pyarrow'
^^^^^^^
```
Since `pyarrow>=4.0.*; extra == 'pyarrow'` is invalid *and* it comes
from the metadata of a dependency (that isn't under the control of the
end user), we actually attempt to "fix" it. Namely, wildcard
dependency specifications are only allowed with `==` and `!=`, as per
the [Version Specifiers spec]. (They aren't explicitly forbidden in
these cases, but instead only have specified behavior for the `==` and
`!=` operators.)
This is all fine, but it turns out that when we fix the `>=4.0.*`
component, we also strip the quotes around `pyarrow`. (Because some
dependency specifications include stray quotes.) We fix this by making
our quote stripping a bit more selective. (We require that it appear
adjacent to a digit or a `*`.)
Note that #1477 also reports this error:
```
$ uv pip install 'requests>=2.30.*'
error: Failed to parse `requests>=2.30.*`
Caused by: Operator >= cannot be used with a wildcard version specifier
requests>=2.30.*
```
However, we specifically keep that error message since it's something
under the end user's control. And similarly for a dependency
specification in a `requirements.txt` file.
Fixes#1477
[Version Specifiers spec]:
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/version-specifiers/
It turns out that /bin/ls can sometimes be plain text file. For
example, in Rocky Linux 9:
```
$ cat /bin/ls
#!/usr/bin/coreutils --coreutils-prog-shebang=ls
```
However, `/bin/sh` is an ELF binary:
```
$ file /bin/sh
/bin/sh: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=7acbb41bf6f1b7d977f1b44675bf3ed213776835, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped
```
In a related issue (#1433), @zanieb fixed#1395 where, on NixOS,
`/bin/ls` doesn't exist but `/bin/sh` does. However, the fix attempts
`/bin/ls` first and only tries `/bin/sh` if `/bin/ls` doesn't exist. If
`/bin/ls` exists but isn't a valid ELF file, then the entire enterprise
gives up and `uv` fails to detect the version of `libc` that is
installed.
Instead of tweaking the logic to keep trying `/bin/ls` and then
`/bin/sh` after even if parsing `/bin/ls` fails, we just switch over to
reading `/bin/sh` only. It seems like a more fundamental thing to sniff
and likely less error prone.
We can adjust this heuristic as needed if it provdes to be problematic.
I tested this fix manually on Rocky Linux 9 via Docker:
```
$ cross b -r -p uv --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
$ cp target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/release/uv ~/astral/issues/uv/i1486/uv
$ docker run --rm -it --mount type=bind,src=/home/andrew/astral/issues/uv/i1486,dst=/host rockylinux:9 bash
[root@df2baa65d2f8 /]# /host/uv venv
Using Python 3.9.18 interpreter at /usr/bin/python3.9
Creating virtualenv at: .venv
[root@df2baa65d2f8 /]#
```
Fixes#1486, Ref #1433
Added example to install packages from a file w/o editable mode.
I use `pip install .` in a number of CI/CD and build scripts - it wasn't
obvious to me how to achieve this with uv as `uv pip install .` throws
an error about package names being expected to start with an
alphanumeric character.

## Summary
It took me a while to figure out why the benchmarks are extremelly flaky
(and slow) on my machine.
I documented my finding in the benchmarks.md file in case someone else
runs into the same problems as I
## What
Fixes a missing link in `contributing.md` to the Python installation
section by rearranging the section and adding a 3rd-level heading for
#Python
## Closes
Closes#1431
I'm not sure if we should just switch to _always_ reading from sh
instead? I don't love that all these errors are strings and I if
`/bin/ls` exists but can't be parsed we still won't try `/bin/sh`. We
may want to address these things in the future.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1395
## Summary
It looks like `devpi` might add an empty fragment (`#`) at the end of
the URL. We expect it to contain the hash; this just makes
empty-fragment map to "no hash".
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1441.
## Summary
If a distribution contains a `+`, it'll be HTML-escaped; so when we try
to identify the `#`, we'll split in the wrong location.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1338.
Small grammar updates for word flow
I believe the "Support for a wide range of advanced..." section could
also be changed to a sub-bullet list if this is more preferred?
Feel free to close :)

Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1388
Fixes incorrect handling of relative paths returned by indexes without
an explicit `<base>`.
`Url.join` will drop the last segment in an url e.g. `http://foo/bar` ->
`http://foo/baz` if there is not a trailing slash but what we want is
`http://foo/bar/baz`. We don't add the trailing `/` in
`base_url_join_relative` because flat indexes are `http://foo/bar.html`
and we _want_ `bar.html` to be replaced.
## Summary
In a `requirements.txt` file, it turns out that the `-c` and `-r`
entries should be interpreted as relative to the file in which they're
declared, while the `-e` entries should be interpreted as relative to
the current working directory, no matter where they're defined.
Previously, we always used the current working directory; now, we use
the declaring file's directory for `-c` and `-r`.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1367.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1416.
This is just a small readme change to include venv activation.
In case someone just follows the docs as-is, they will end up installing
packages outside of the desired virtual env.

## Test Plan
Ran `cargo run pip install junos-eznc==2.6.5`, which still fails for me,
but fails identically to `pip` (and not on the `requires-python`):

This PR improves the error message for the problem described in
https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1376. The original output
duplicates the actual error message and includes lots of noise
(`DirEntry { inner: DirEntry(...) }`).
```

This PR removes the duplication and `DirEntry` internals so that the
error message is easier to grasp:
```

It's a little picky about the value, but that seems okay.

Per some prior discussion, "novel" can be confusing in this context as
it's not clear what we're referring to.
PDM supports overrides — so I'll just drop this.
If anyone knows of other tools that support overrides and alternative
resolution strategies please let me know I'd love to look at how they've
implemented it :)
There was not much benefit to avoiding the new download (and it was
broken in some Windows compatibility work) and this ensures there are
_only_ the versions we specified
