Description

Actually installing distributions is too expensive for unit tests, but now that we have #5719 we can host dummy distributions (i.e. only with necessary stub files) in a proxy and write unit tests for uv python install and friends.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study existing test patterns in the project, particularly how tests currently use external resources. Understand the proxy server setup from issue #5719. Then implement a test server that serves dummy Python distributions and write tests for `uv python` subcommands.
