Support uv run as an optional default run action. #1281

Description

@MarthinusBosman

Currently, the Run Python File in Terminal play button (and the default python debugger) is hardcoded to run the current python file using the activated environment.

For uv scripts with dependencies this causes an issue.

If it were possible to configure this as a setting to run using uv run ${file} instead, it would allow seamless integration for rust scripts, same for the debugger.

I've come from related issues: astral-sh/uv#8558, astral-sh/uv#7803, and astral-sh/ty-vscode#353, but realised it's not possible to implement this feature anywhere other than the vscode-python repo.

Debugging can work with a custom launch.json specifying uv run --with-requirments ${file} python, but this has the caveat that it will fail for scripts with no inline dependencies defined. Being able to use just uv run as the actual command would allow it to always work. Though my guess is this requires work on debugpy itself to better support uv.
