feat: support cool-down-period in [pipenv] section

Reads the new `cool-down-period = "<n>d"` Pipfile setting introduced in
plette 2.2.1 and forwards it to pip's `--uploaded-prior-to P<n>D` flag
during dependency resolution, restricting the resolver to package versions
uploaded at least N days ago.

Includes unit tests for the arg-conversion helper and the injection into
`extra_pip_args`, an integration test verifying the lock succeeds with the
setting present, and documentation in docs/pipfile.md.

+#### `cool-down-period`
+
+Restricts the resolver to package versions that were uploaded to the index at least
+the specified number of days ago.  This gives newly-published releases time to be
+vetted by the community before they are automatically pulled into your project.
+
+The value must be a string in `<int>d` format (e.g. `"30d"` for 30 days).  Internally
+pipenv translates this to pip's `--uploaded-prior-to P30D` flag, which is only
+effective against indexes that expose upload-time metadata as described in the
+[Simple Repository API](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/simple-repository-api/).
+When the index does not provide upload-time metadata (e.g. most private mirrors) the
+setting is accepted but has no filtering effect.
+
+```toml
+[pipenv]
+cool-down-period = "30d"   # ignore any release uploaded in the last 30 days
+```

+Added support for ``cool-down-period`` in the ``[pipenv]`` section of the Pipfile.
+Setting ``cool-down-period = "30d"`` instructs the resolver to only consider
+package versions uploaded at least the specified number of days ago, via pip's
+``--uploaded-prior-to`` flag.
