uv plugin lacks disable-parallel part property support. Low-priority enhancement, labeled Needs information, blocked on the python plugin design decision (#1247) and a real-world use case. No activity for ~12 months.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: The issue is triaged (Type: Enhancement, Status: Needs information) and acknowledged by maintainer lengau, who explicitly deferred it pending the python plugin design in #1247, which is still open. It is part of an open series of sibling disable-parallel issues (#1232-#1247) and the uv plugin still lacks the property (only autotools implements it), so it remains applicable rather than obsolete despite ~12 months of inactivity.

Issue body

### What needs to get done Support the [disable-parallel](https://canonical-craft-parts.readthedocs-hosted.com/latest/common/craft-parts/reference/part_properties/#disable-parallel) part property in the uv plugin. ### Why it needs to get done All of our plugins should theoretically support this. In practice though, this is extremely low priority until someone shows us a real-world use case for it. If someone can bring us a real-world use case that we can test against (especially a case of "this application simply does not build with parallel"), that would be ideal. The [autotools plugin](https://github.com/canonical/craft-parts/pull/1167) required this for OpenJDK builds, for example.
