💄 revise style rules, auto linting settings, etc

[lucas-labs]

Right now we are using ruff for some linting rules and autopep8 for formatting.

ruff has its own formatter, which is pretty good, but is lacking an option to preserve string normalization. So, just for now, until PR astral-sh/ruff#8822 is merged, we will use black with --skip-string-normalization option.

why?

I prefeer using flake8-quotes with ruff for normalizing string quotes, as it allows the following configuration, which I personally prefeer:

[flake8-quotes]
docstring-quotes = "double"
inline-quotes = "single"
multiline-quotes = "single"
