build: Adopt uv as the project package manager #469

Description

@gijzelaerr

Summary

The project already has a uv.lock file and uses uv sync in the CI type-check job, but tox.ini, CONTRIBUTING.md, and most CI jobs still use raw pip install. Adopting uv consistently across the project would speed up CI (faster dependency resolution and installs) and simplify developer setup.

Proposed changes

  • CI: Replace pip install invocations with uv across all CI workflow jobs
  • CONTRIBUTING.md: Update developer setup instructions to use uv
  • tox: Potentially replace tox with uv-based test running
  • scikit-build-core already supports uv, so the build backend is ready

Motivation

uv is significantly faster than pip for dependency resolution and installation. Since part of the infrastructure already uses it (the lock file and type-check job), completing the migration would make CI faster and reduce the number of package management tools contributors need to be familiar with.
