Pixi build

We've merged in the main pixi build feature branch. This is a big change but shouldn't have affected any of the current functionality.
If you notice any issues, please let us know.

It can be turned on by preview = "pixi-build" in your pixi.toml file. It's under heavy development so expect breaking changes in that feature for now.

New Contributors

• @seowalex made their first contribution in #2580

[pypi-dependencies]
pytorch ={ version = "*", index = "https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118" }

• [dependency-groups] (PEP735) support in pyproject.toml

[dependency-groups]
test = ["pytest"]
