Migrate to UV for Package Management

[ktehranchi]

Feature Request

I started a branch to migrate to UV for our package management (kt/uv), but found there are issues with installing a few of our dependencies with UV. They have been identified to the UV developers in the following tickets (astral-sh/uv#8429) , (astral-sh/uv#7525).

The issue is associated with installing snakemake (snakemake/snakemake-executor-plugin-slurm#157) so there wouldnt be a good workaround besides using mamba for snakemake. They identify one workaround to get around the datrie dependency but I found that there are other installation issues as well after that.

The bug was identified only a few weeks ago so I imagine they'll patch it soon. Let's just keep an eye on those tickets to see when they are fixed.... we can switch then, since it is so dang fast.
