Use a modern pyproject.toml package structure

[wigging]

This adopts a modern pyproject.toml project structure for developing a Python package. The setup.py, setup.cfg, and MANIFEST.in files are no longer needed and have been removed. The zambeze package itself now resides in the src directory. All linting and formatting is now done with ruff instead of flake8 and black. The GitHub Actions workflows are also updated to account for these changes. Closes #159.

Someone needs to pull down this branch, create a new Python environment, install the package into that environment, make sure pytest -m unit passes, and make sure the imagemagick_files.py example runs correctly. I don't have any problems on my computer but I want to make sure someone else can run the tests and example before merging with main.

Without understanding fully what ruff does, I moreso reviewed code cleanliness and that the libraries included were necessary/complete. It does pass those checks, I figure we can merge and test in main.

Just saw this comment. Will do!

To run the ruff linter/style checks use ruff check . and to run the ruff formatter checks use ruff format --check . where . is the top-level of this project. These are the same commands used in the check.yml workflow. I'll update CONTRIBUTING.md to utilize all the changes in this pull request.

I updated the contributing guidelines to account for the changes made in this pull request.

@tskluzac Have you had a chance to run the tests and examples in this branch?
