Summary

It turns out that we were returning slightly different interpreter paths on repeated uv run --with commands. This likely didn't affect many (or any?) users, but it does affect our test suite, since in the test suite, we use a symlinked interpreter.

The issue is that on first invocation, we create the virtual environment, and that returns the path to the python executable in the environment. On second invocation, we return the python3 executable, since that gets priority during discovery. This on its own is potentially ok. The issue is that these resolve to different sys._base_executable values in these flows... The latter gets the correct value (since it's read from the home key), but the former gets the incorrect value (since it's just the base_executable of the executable that created the virtualenv, which is the symlink).

We now use the same logic to determine the "cached interpreter" as in virtual environment creation, to ensure consistency between those paths.

## Summary

This is attempting to solve the same problem surfaced in #11208 and
#11209. However, those PRs only worked for our own managed Pythons. In
Gentoo, for example, they disable the managed Pythons, which led to
failures in the test suite, because the "base Python" returned after
creating a virtual environment would differ from the "base Python" that
you get after _querying_ an existing virtual environment.

The fix here is to apply our same base Python normalization and
discovery logic, to non-standalone / non-managed Pythons. We continue to
use `sys._base_executable` for such Pythons when creating the
virtualenv, but when _caching_, we perform this second discovery step.

Closes #11237.
