Add hint to use `uv self version` when `uv version` cannot find a project (#14738)
When users run `uv version` in a directory without a `pyproject.toml`
file, they often intend to check uv's own version rather than a
project's version. This change adds a helpful hint to guide users to the
correct command.
**Before:**
```
❯ uv version
error: No `pyproject.toml` found in current directory or any parent directory
```
**After:**
```
❯ uv version
error: No `pyproject.toml` found in current directory or any parent directory
hint: If you meant to view uv's version, use `uv self version` instead
```
## Changes
- Modified `find_target()` function in
`crates/uv/src/commands/project/version.rs` to catch
`WorkspaceError::MissingPyprojectToml` specifically and enhance the
error message with a helpful hint
- Added import for `WorkspaceError` to access the specific error type
- Updated existing tests to expect the new hint message in error output
- Added new test case `version_get_missing_with_hint()` to verify
behavior
The hint appears consistently across all scenarios where `uv version`
fails to find a project:
- `uv version` (normal mode)
- `uv version --project .` (explicit project mode)
- `uv version --preview` (preview mode)
The change maintains all existing functionality - when a
`pyproject.toml` is found, `uv version` continues to work normally
without showing the hint.
Fixes #14730.
