Description
I checked `--help` prior to installing and ran the install.sh script with the `--no-modify-path` flag which produced the following warning about that flag being deprecated:
```
$ ./install.sh -v --no-modify-path
--no-modify-path has been deprecated; please set UV_NO_MODIFY_PATH=1 in the environment

installing to /path/to/.local/bin

everything's installed!
```
Should the `--help` contents be updated to reflect the change?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with install.sh and inspect the --help output alongside the handling of --no-modify-path. Confirm whether the help text still advertises the deprecated flag, then verify the updated help and installation behavior on the documented macOS setup.
