fix(dist): stop stripping .py sources; wipe payload on NSIS upgrade

Two root causes for the 'imaging extension was built for another version
of Pillow' error users hit after install:

1) cleanup_site_packages ran 'find ... -name "*.py" ! -name "__init__.py"
   -delete' with a comment claiming 'keep .pyc only' — but no compileall
   step exists. Result: the dist shipped __init__.py + .pyd only, missing
   every submodule (Image.py, ImageDraw.py, _version.py, ...). Fresh
   installs were broken; in-place upgrades produced a half-old/half-new
   site-packages. Removed the deletion entirely.

2) NSIS installer extracted over the previous install without cleaning
   python/, app/, scripts/. Upgrades left stale files (old PIL/_version.py
   next to new PIL/_imaging.pyd) which raised the Pillow ABI mismatch.
   Wipe those subtrees before File /r, preserving config.yaml at the
   install root.

+#### CI/Build
+- Replace `uvicorn[standard]` with explicit Windows-safe extras; avoids uvloop cross-build deadlock ([28293c6](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/28293c6))
+- Move `pystray` into the unified cross-deps resolve so its Pillow matches the core one ([8450040](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/8450040))
+- Hybrid pip-download: single call for cross-platform deps (consistent `pydantic-core`), per-dep loop with `--pre` for Windows-only ([39b3aed](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/39b3aed))
+- Normalize non-PEP440 versions before stamping `pyproject.toml` ([69df9b6](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/69df9b6))
+- Pass `--pre` to `pip download` for winsdk beta wheels ([760c3df](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/760c3df))
+- Revert broken action caching (Gitea cache backend not configured) ([60f287b](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/60f287b))
