Fixes #171

This allows the provider to implement a method to determine the causes which are disjoint, this has a number of advantages:

  1. It reduces the number of causes saved to the state
  2. If the provider uses backtrack_causes in get_preference or narrow_requirement_selection they will be the disjoint causes allowing the provider to not have to iterate through as many causes or re-implement figuring out disjoint causes on every different method call
  3. For ResolutionImpossible errors the disjoint causes will naturally be returned

If the provider does not implement a disjoint method then there is no behavior change, so this PR should be completely backwards compatible.

This new method seems quite natrual, happy to take any bikeshedding suggestions.

I have a hacky version of implementing it with pip and dep-logic: pypa/pip@main...notatallshaw:pip:speedy-resolve (For the real version I will need to more carefully consider when ExplicitRequirements and SpecifierRequirements are disjoint). But it already successfully speeds up various resolutions.
