[Doc]: Update note on uv/python-build-standalone incompatibility #30409
Description
Documentation Link
doc/index.rst and doc/install/index.rst
Problem
#29752 added some warnings about a uv / python-build-standalone bug that broke tkagg. Today's release of uv (0.8.7) and python-build-standalone (20250808) should work properly with tkagg. I think you can probably demote the prominence of these warnings, maybe instead suggesting that if you're running into issues, you should upgrade your uv version and reinstall its managed Python version. See also my comment in #30394 (and maybe if there's a good warning there, there doesn't need to be anything in the docs).
Also, please do let me know if anything is still broken with today's fix!

@geofft is this now covered by the eventual final state of #30394? It looks like the warnings there ask folks to upgrade to get it working.

That covers the warnings in the code after an ImportError, but there are also warnings in the docs that need to be updated.
I guess I have a bit of time to put together a PR now.
