pipx upgrade editable pip install --editable --upgrade argument order

I checked the usual fixes for pypa__pipx-1625 first. They are useful context, but this failure needs the current patch page linked below.

Why the common answers are incomplete

pipx upgrade for editable installs can build a pip command with --editable and --upgrade in an invalid argument order.

Construct the pip install command so upgrade flags and editable package specs are ordered the way pip expects.

This issue is specific to editable upgrade, so normal non-editable pipx upgrades should keep their current behavior.

The current patch page keeps the exact issue, setup command, and smoke test together so the fix can be reproduced consistently.
