📄 Description

After using uv for quite a while and after consulting uv's own documentation, I believe it's better to use uv tool install when installing open-webui via uv, instead of uvx

uv documentation on tools: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/#installing-tools

Doing it this way makes it so that uv keeps open-webui properly in ~/.local/share/uv/tools/ rather than ~/.cache/uv

This pull request adds those instructions.
