Current evaluation

Feature request: add a `uv-packages` part property to the uv plugin so `uv sync` can be scoped with `--all-packages` or `--package=<name>`, enabling multi-package artifacts. Open, untriaged.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The request is a concrete, valid gap: `UvPlugin._get_package_install_commands` currently emits only `uv sync --no-dev --no-editable --reinstall` plus `--extra`/`--group` flags, with no way to select workspace members, and neither `uv_plugin.py` nor `docs/common/craft-parts/reference/plugins/uv_plugin.rst` documents such a property. Implementation is small and follows an existing pattern (`colcon_packages` list[str] in colcon_plugin.py, and the uv extras/groups handling with a matching unit-test parametrization in tests/unit/plugins/test_uv_plugin.py), but the exact property semantics are still unresolved in the body itself ("EDIT: Or `none` could just be an empty list `[]` actually"), and the issue has zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer response or assignee — so it has not been triaged yet.

Issue body

### What needs to get done The `uv` plugin should support a `uv-packages` property; I think this should be a string or list property that maybe allows: 1. `none` (current behavior): Run `uv sync` without any `--all-packages` or `--package` arguments 1. `all`: Run `uv sync` command with `--all-packages` to ensure all workspace packages get included in the final artifact 1. A list of strings: Adds `--package=<name>` for each package name in the property EDIT: Or `none` could just be an empty list `[]` actually ### Why it needs to get done This would allow building either: 1. One artifact with multiple `bin/` executables: Maybe a project has a `client` library with two components that provide either CLIs or tools that should be bundled into one artifact. 1. Multiple artifacts (snaps, rocks, etc.) per workspace: Maybe a project has a `client` library that has a user CLI and a agent/service tool that should be built as separate artifacts.
