Allow users to provide pre-defined metadata for resolution (#7442)
## Summary

This PR enables users to provide pre-defined static metadata for
dependencies. It's intended for situations in which the user depends on
a package that does _not_ declare static metadata (e.g., a
`setup.py`-only sdist), and that is expensive to build or even cannot be
built on some architectures. For example, you might have a Linux-only
dependency that can't be built on ARM -- but we need to build that
package in order to generate the lockfile. By providing static metadata,
the user can instruct uv to avoid building that package at all.

For example, to override all `anyio` versions:

```toml
[project]
name = "project"
version = "0.1.0"
requires-python = ">=3.12"
dependencies = ["anyio"]

[[tool.uv.dependency-metadata]]
name = "anyio"
requires-dist = ["iniconfig"]
```

Or, to override a specific version:

```toml
[project]
name = "project"
version = "0.1.0"
requires-python = ">=3.12"
dependencies = ["anyio"]

[[tool.uv.dependency-metadata]]
name = "anyio"
version = "3.7.0"
requires-dist = ["iniconfig"]
```

The current implementation uses `Metadata23` directly, so we adhere to
the exact schema expected internally and defined by the standards. Any
entries are treated similarly to overrides, in that we won't even look
for `anyio@3.7.0` metadata in the above example. (In a way, this also
enables #4422, since you could remove a dependency for a specific
package, though it's probably too unwieldy to use in practice, since
you'd need to redefine the _rest_ of the metadata, and do that for every
package that requires the package you want to omit.)

This is under-documented, since I want to get feedback on the core ideas
and names involved.

Dependency specifiers (PEP 508) in Rust

Crates.io PyPI

A library for python dependency specifiers, better known as PEP 508.

Usage

In Rust

use std::str::FromStr;
use pep508_rs::Requirement;

let marker = r#"requests [security,tests] >= 2.8.1, == 2.8.* ; python_version > "3.8""#;
let dependency_specification = Requirement::from_str(marker).unwrap();
assert_eq!(dependency_specification.name, "requests");
assert_eq!(dependency_specification.extras, Some(vec!["security".to_string(), "tests".to_string()]));

In Python

from pep508_rs import Requirement

requests = Requirement(
    'requests [security,tests] >= 2.8.1, == 2.8.* ; python_version > "3.8"'
)
assert requests.name == "requests"
assert requests.extras == ["security", "tests"]
assert [str(i) for i in requests.version_or_url] == [">= 2.8.1", "== 2.8.*"]

Python bindings are built with maturin, but you can also use the normal pip install .

Version and VersionSpecifier from pep440_rs are reexported to avoid type mismatches.

Markers

Markers allow you to install dependencies only in specific environments (python version, operating system, architecture, etc.) or when a specific feature is activated. E.g. you can say importlib-metadata ; python_version < "3.8" or itsdangerous (>=1.1.0) ; extra == 'security'. Unfortunately, the marker grammar has some oversights (e.g. https://github.com/pypa/packaging.python.org/pull/1181) and the design of comparisons (PEP 440 comparisons with lexicographic fallback) leads to confusing outcomes. This implementation tries to carefully validate everything and emit warnings whenever bogus comparisons with unintended semantics are made.

In python, warnings are by default sent to the normal python logging infrastructure:

from pep508_rs import Requirement, MarkerEnvironment

env = MarkerEnvironment.current()
assert not Requirement("numpy; extra == 'science'").evaluate_markers(env, [])
assert Requirement("numpy; extra == 'science'").evaluate_markers(env, ["science"])
assert not Requirement(
    "numpy; extra == 'science' and extra == 'arrays'"
).evaluate_markers(env, ["science"])
assert Requirement(
    "numpy; extra == 'science' or extra == 'arrays'"
).evaluate_markers(env, ["science"])
from pep508_rs import Requirement, MarkerEnvironment

env = MarkerEnvironment.current()
Requirement("numpy; python_version >= '3.9.'").evaluate_markers(env, [])
# This will log:
# "Expected PEP 440 version to compare with python_version, found `3.9.`, "
# "evaluating to false: Version `3.9.` doesn't match PEP 440 rules"
