Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add failing test for UV_NO_SYNC=1 env var not working
 with uv run

This test demonstrates issue #17390 where setting `UV_NO_SYNC=1`
environment variable does not prevent `uv run` from syncing the
environment.

The root cause is that `RunSettings::resolve()` doesn't use
`resolve_flag()` to combine the CLI argument with the environment
variable, unlike other commands like `uv add`, `uv remove`, and
`uv version` which handle it correctly.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Fix UV_NO_SYNC=1 not working for uv run

The `RunSettings::resolve()` function was passing the `no_sync` CLI
argument directly without using `resolve_flag()` to combine it with
the `UV_NO_SYNC` environment variable.

This fix adds `resolve_flag(no_sync, "no-sync", environment.no_sync)`
to properly resolve the flag from both CLI and environment variable
sources, matching how other commands (add, remove, version) already
handle this flag.

Fixes #17390
