Ruben Fiszel e9f016cf66 fix: serialize concurrent python wheel-cache installs to prevent flaky ModuleNotFoundError
The wheel cache (ROOT_CACHE_DIR/python_<v>/<pkg>==<ver>) is shared by every
job on a worker, and uv installs into it with `--reinstall --target <dir>`,
which transiently empties the directory mid-run. Two jobs installing the same
package concurrently (e.g. several WAC tests all importing wmill) clobber each
other's files, and a job that imports from the dir during a concurrent
reinstall sees a partially populated or wiped package -> flaky
ModuleNotFoundError (httpx/wmill).

Serialize installs per target dir with a process-wide keyed lock and re-check
the `.valid.windmill` marker once the lock is held, so a waiter reuses the
freshly populated cache instead of reinstalling over a dir other jobs may be
importing from. Reinstall now only runs when no valid install exists, so no
concurrent importer can observe a half-populated dir.

Reproduced with a cold-wheel-cache loop over the wmill-importing python tests:
8/10 iterations failed before, 0/12 after. Adds a unit test guarding the
per-target lock keying.

Windmill Backend

This folder holds all backend components, the src/ folder only contains files used to build the "root" binary.

Components

name description
windmill-api The API server, exposing functionality to other components and the frontend
windmill-audit Contains audit functionality, allowing different components to record important actions
windmill-common Common code shared by all crates
windmill-queue Contains job & flow queuing functionality, commonly written to by the API server and read from by workers
windmill-worker The worker. Used to process and execute flows & jobs.
parsers Contains code to parse signatures in different langauges.
