Conceptual layer archives

[tired onyx]

I would include uv instead of pip, but last time I checked, uv still didn't support layered environments properly (neither venvstacks style, nor those with system site packages enabled)

In writing up this idea, I realised uv should work fine, since with conceptual layering, the runtime app environments end up being just plain old single layer isolated venvs: https://github.com/lmstudio-ai/venvstacks/issues/146

@daring sigil ^^^ may be of interest (while a lot of the compromises in the venvstacks design are there because I thought they were necessary, your complaints about them triggered a different way of thinking about some of those issues that may let me solve them via uv's caching mechanism instead of via runtime startup shenanigans)
