Zanie Blue 8f71d239f8 Add support for package-level conflicts in workspaces (#14906)
Revives https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/9130

Previously, we allowed scoping conflicting extras or groups to specific
packages, e.g. ,`{ package = "foo", extra = "bar" }` for a conflict in
`foo[bar]`. Now, we allow dropping the `extra` or `group` bit and using
`{ package = "foo" }` directly which declares a conflict with `foo`'s
production dependencies.

This means you can declare conflicts between workspace members, e.g.:

```
[tool.uv]
conflicts = [[{ package = "foo" }, { package = "bar" }]]
```

would not allow `foo` and `bar` to be installed at the same time.

Similarly, a conflict can be declared between a package and a group:

```
[tool.uv]
conflicts = [[{ package = "foo" }, { group = "lint" }]]
```

which would mean, e.g., that `--only-group lint` would be required for
the invocation.

As with our existing support for conflicting extras, there are
edge-cases here where the resolver will _not_ fail even if there are
conflicts that render a particular install target unusable. There's test
coverage for some of these. We'll still error at install-time when the
conflicting groups are selected. Due to the likelihood of bugs in this
feature, I've marked it as a preview feature.

I would not recommend reading the commits as there's some slop from not
wanting to rebase Andrew's branch.

# Preview features
uv includes opt-in preview features to provide an opportunity for community feedback and increase
confidence that changes are a net-benefit before enabling them for everyone.
## Enabling preview features
To enable all preview features, use the `--preview` flag:
```console
$ uv run --preview ...
```
Or, set the `UV_PREVIEW` environment variable:
```console
$ UV_PREVIEW=1 uv run ...
```
To enable specific preview features, use the `--preview-features` flag:
```console
$ uv run --preview-features foo ...
```
The `--preview-features` flag can be repeated to enable multiple features:
```console
$ uv run --preview-features foo --preview-features bar ...
```
Or, features can be provided in a comma separated list:
```console
$ uv run --preview-features foo,bar ...
```
The `UV_PREVIEW_FEATURES` environment variable can be used similarly, e.g.:
```console
$ UV_PREVIEW_FEATURES=foo,bar uv run ...
```
For backwards compatibility, enabling preview features that do not exist will warn, but not error.
## Using preview features
Often, preview features can be used without changing any preview settings if the behavior change is
gated by some sort of user interaction, For example, while `pylock.toml` support is in preview, you
can use `uv pip install` with a `pylock.toml` file without additional configuration because
specifying the `pylock.toml` file indicates you want to use the feature. However, a warning will be
displayed that the feature is in preview. The preview feature can be enabled to silence the warning.
Other preview features change behavior without changes to your use of uv. For example, when the
`python-upgrade` feature is enabled, the default behavior of `uv python install` changes to allow uv
to upgrade Python versions transparently. This feature requires enabling the preview flag for proper
usage.
## Available preview features
The following preview features are available:
- `add-bounds`: Allows configuring the
[default bounds for `uv add`](../reference/settings.md#add-bounds) invocations.
- `json-output`: Allows `--output-format json` for various uv commands.
- `package-conflicts`: Allows defining workspace conflicts at the package level.
- `pylock`: Allows installing from `pylock.toml` files.
- `python-install-default`: Allows
[installing `python` and `python3` executables](./python-versions.md#installing-python-executables).
- `python-upgrade`: Allows
[transparent Python version upgrades](./python-versions.md#upgrading-python-versions).
## Disabling preview features
The `--no-preview` option can be used to disable preview features.
