Add uv package manager as an alternative to pip in the Windows
PowerShell quick-start section. The default installation still
uses pip for broad compatibility, with uv available as a faster
alternative in a collapsible subsection.

Closes IBM#1503

Hi, thanks for the PR. This is already documented in the UV alternative section of README.md and I prefer keeping the original pip example for folks that don't have (or are familiar with) uv. The project already uses uv by default.
