Migrate CI dependency installation from pip to uv (#3675)

* switch test.yml GHA workflow dependency installation from pip to uv

* remove unnecessary editable install from source build in release workflow

* fix typo

* remove env vars MPLBACKEND, PMG_TEST_FILES_DIR to check if still necessary

* skip failing m3gnet tests with TODO and link to matgl issue
