Migrate to uv using "uvx migrate-to-uv", use msgspec from git due to python 3.13 compat

Might as well break apart the specific test set since there are some
(minor) subtleties and the orig test mod is already getting pretty big
XD

Includes both the new "independent"-event-loops test as well as the std
usage base case suite.

-Install
--------
-``tractor`` is still in a *alpha-near-beta-stage* for many
-of its subsystems, however we are very close to having a stable
-lowlevel runtime and API.
-
-As such, it's currently recommended that you clone and install the
-repo from source::
-
-    pip install git+git://github.com/goodboy/tractor.git
-
-
-We use the very hip `uv`_ for project mgmt::
-
-    git clone https://github.com/goodboy/tractor.git
-    cd tractor
-    uv sync --dev
-    uv run python examples/rpc_bidir_streaming.py
-
-Consider activating a virtual/project-env before starting to hack on
-the code base::
-
-    # you could use plain ol' venvs
-    # https://docs.astral.sh/uv/pip/environments/
-    uv venv tractor_py313 --python 3.13
-
-    # but @goodboy prefers the more explicit (and shell agnostic)
-    # https://docs.astral.sh/uv/configuration/environment/#uv_project_environment
-    UV_PROJECT_ENVIRONMENT="tractor_py313
-
-    # hint hint, enter @goodboy's fave shell B)
-    uv run --dev xonsh
-
-Alongside all this we ofc offer "releases" on PyPi::
-
-    pip install tractor
-
-Just note that YMMV since the main git branch is often much further
-ahead then any latest release.
-
-
-Example codez
--------------
-In ``tractor``'s (very lacking) documention we prefer to point to
-example scripts in the repo over duplicating them in docs, but with
-that in mind here are some definitive snippets to try and hook you
-into digging deeper.
