Migrate Open WebUI to uv-based installation (#9019)

* Migrate Open WebUI to uv-based installation

Added migration logic to detect and upgrade legacy Open WebUI installations to a uv-based setup, including data backup and service recreation. Updated install and update scripts to use uv for installing Open WebUI and adjusted service configuration and cleanup steps accordingly.
