Swapping in "uv" to install python 3.12. This version of python is not available via `apt install` in the base docker image, so previously we used the deadsnakes ppa. This is a test to see if uv can do it instead to move away from this ppa dependency. - remove deadsnakes ppa - install uv by COPYing latest image from ghcr.io - use uv to install python3.12

Would it not make more sense to go all in on UV so we don't need pip?

At some point in the tech incident channel thread it was mentioned that this could be a temporary change until the deadsnakes ppa is back - so this is a working version with minimal changes. The other PR about bumping to 24.04 is another alternative.

If you go with this option, I'd suggest updating to the latest repo template for standardised uv docker things
