Switch to uv sync for proper dependency management

Replace `uv pip install -r requirements.txt` with `uv sync` to use
modern uv workflow with pyproject.toml:

- Use `uv sync` to create venv and install dependencies
- Use `uv run` prefix for all Python/Jupyter commands
- Remove build-system from pyproject.toml (not a package)
- Fix deprecation warning (tool.uv.dev-dependencies → dependency-groups)
- Add .venv/ and uv.lock to .gitignore

Benefits:
- Avoids "externally managed" Python installation errors
- Uses proper virtual environment isolation
- Follows modern uv best practices
- Automatic venv creation and management

Tested: `make` now successfully creates venv and installs all Python
dependencies. Only requires system R to be installed separately.
