refactor: fix review findings — remove duplicate imports and deduplicate update command

- banner.py: remove redundant `import json as _json` (json already at module level)
- main.py: _cmd_update_pip now delegates to recommended_update_command_for_method
  instead of duplicating the uv-vs-pip detection logic
- main.py: remove redundant `import subprocess as _sp` (subprocess already at module level)
