feat: recommend uv for Python setup in connection panel

Users without Python installed were getting stuck on pip install comfy-cli.
Restructure the Quick Start to install uv first (which is cross-platform,
a single-line shell install, and doesn't require Python itself to be
present). Then use uv pip install comfy-cli --system. Keep the plain
pip path in the collapsible Alternative section with a note about the
Python 3.10+ requirement.
