Add support for pipenv/Pipfile
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to add pipenv/Pipfile support to snapcraft. Still open and unimplemented; snapcraft's Python plugins remain python, poetry and uv with no Pipfile handling.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The request is only a two-sentence pitch with no labels, no assignee and zero comments, so no maintainer has assessed it. Code evidence confirms it is not done: get_python_plugins() in snapcraft/parts/plugins/python_common.py registers only "poetry", "python" and "uv", and a repo-wide grep for "Pipfile"/"pipenv" hits only .gitignore and .editorconfig boilerplate, so nothing needs closing as resolved.

Issue body
The "officially recommended Python packaging tool from Python.org" is now Pipenv (https://docs.pipenv.org/), which introduces a new Pipfile requirements format (a la Cargo.toml).
snapcraft should grow support for this.
