a command to update uv-wrapper and `.uv-version`

not sure how this would work since all arguments to the uv wrapper script get passed to uv, but perhaps there could be some sort of meta-command to manage the wrapper itself. some ideas for supported commands:

• ./uv --wrapper update-self - updates the uv wrapper script itself to the latest version
• ./uv --wrapper update-uv - updates the version in .uv-version to the latest release
• ./uv --wrapper install - installs uv but doesn't run any command (useful in CI environments where you want uv to be installed ahead of time eg. in a dockerfile)

Yeah, I was also thinking about a comfortable upgrade mechanism for the wrapper itself. I'll try to think of something.

As for the other two, there are at least small workarounds:

• To upgrade the pinned uv, just delete .uv-version and run the wrapper again, as suggested in the README. It will automatically query for the latest release from Github.
• As for a "just install" command, you can always run something like ./uv -V. It will install the configured uv version and print out the version. Nothing else, it will not create .venv or anything. You can even silence it with ./uv -V >/dev/null (in Bash, to send the output of the command directly to Nirvana).

Are those workarounds enough or do you think it would make sense to actually provide some "meta commands" for these situations?

yeah those workaround are what i'm going with atm. i guess the main benefit is the update-self command so you don't have to type out or copy/paste the whole install script from the readme
