Description

Summary

Support --all-groups for uv pip install just like with uv sync. Right now, all groups need to be manually provided. This is overly verbose while there is already precedent for an --all-groups argument.

Could not find any related issues in the issue tracker with search uv pip install all-groups: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20%20sort%3Arelevance-desc%20uv%20pip%20install%20all-groups

Example

Instead of:

uv pip install -r pyproject.toml --all-extras --group=dev --group=lint --strict

one would use

uv pip install -r pyproject.toml --all-extras --all-groups --strict

Research direction
The issue requests adding ` all groups` to `uv pip install`, similar to `uv sync`. Check the implementation of ` all groups` in `uv sync` (likely in `crates/uv cli/src/cli.rs` for the CLI argument and in the sync command handler). Then replicate the argument and logic in the `pip install` command, possibly in `crates/uv/src/commands/pip install.rs`. The issue has an assignee, so it's blocked for newcomers; however, reviewing the existing code pattern would be instructive.
