…ries (#14131) For the preview version of transparent upgrades, this PR helps to more clearly distinguish two features: (1) upgrading by installing the latest patch version for a minor version and (2) supporting transparent upgrades for things like virtual environments. Transparently upgradeable installations now require `uv python install` with the `--preview` flag. `uv python upgrade` will no longer create symlink directories on its own, only point one to the latest patch if it already exists. This PR also changes `uv venv --preview` to no longer create a missing symlink directory (a behavior that was meant to support a smooth transition when upgrading uv, but which doesn't make sense in light of the core change of this PR).
