Rename Hamilton tip functions to follow naming convention

[rickwierenga]

Summary

Renames Hamilton tip creator functions from ambiguous names like low_volume_tip_with_filter to descriptive names that match the tip rack naming pattern (e.g., hamilton_tip_10uL_filter). This creates consistency across the Hamilton resources API and makes tip functions easier to discover and understand.

Changes

All Hamilton tip creator functions now follow the pattern: hamilton_tip_{volume}uL[_filter][_variant]

Renamed Functions

10 µL tips:

• low_volume_tip_no_filter → hamilton_tip_10uL
• low_volume_tip_with_filter → hamilton_tip_10uL_filter

50 µL tips:

• fifty_ul_tip_no_filter → hamilton_tip_50uL
• fifty_ul_tip_with_filter → hamilton_tip_50uL_filter

300 µL tips:

• standard_volume_tip_no_filter → hamilton_tip_300uL
• standard_volume_tip_with_filter → hamilton_tip_300uL_filter
• slim_standard_volume_tip_with_filter → hamilton_tip_300uL_filter_slim
• ultrawide_standard_volume_tip_with_filter → hamilton_tip_300uL_filter_ultrawide

1000 µL tips:

• high_volume_tip_no_filter → hamilton_tip_1000uL
• high_volume_tip_with_filter → hamilton_tip_1000uL_filter
• wide_high_volume_tip_with_filter → hamilton_tip_1000uL_filter_wide
• ultrawide_high_volume_tip_with_filter → hamilton_tip_1000uL_filter_ultrawide

4000 & 5000 µL tips:

• four_ml_tip_with_filter → hamilton_tip_4000uL_filter
• five_ml_tip → hamilton_tip_5000uL
• five_ml_tip_with_filter → hamilton_tip_5000uL_filter

Backward Compatibility

• All old function names remain available and fully functional
• Old functions now call new functions internally
• Each deprecated function includes a DeprecationWarning with clear migration path
• All internal tip rack definitions updated to use new names
• User code continues to work without changes

Migration Example

# Old code (still works, but shows deprecation warning)
from pylabrobot.resources.hamilton import low_volume_tip_with_filter
tip = low_volume_tip_with_filter()

# New code (recommended)
from pylabrobot.resources.hamilton import hamilton_tip_10uL_filter
tip = hamilton_tip_10uL_filter()

Test Plan

• All existing tests pass
• Deprecation warnings tested and working correctly
• New function names tested for correctness
• All tip rack definitions updated and verified
• No breaking changes to public API

Benefits

1. Consistency: Tip functions now match tip rack naming (e.g., hamilton_96_tiprack_10uL_filter uses hamilton_tip_10uL_filter)
2. Clarity: Volume clearly stated in microliters (10uL vs "low volume")
3. Discoverability: Easy to find tips by volume in autocomplete
4. Maintainability: Logical naming makes code easier to understand and maintain

Pull request overview

This PR renames Hamilton tip creator functions to follow a consistent naming convention that matches the tip rack naming pattern. All functions are renamed from ambiguous names like low_volume_tip_with_filter to descriptive names like hamilton_tip_10uL_filter. The refactoring maintains full backward compatibility by keeping the old function names as deprecation wrappers.

Changes:

• Renamed 15 tip creator functions to follow the pattern hamilton_tip_{volume}uL[_filter][_variant]
• Added deprecation warnings to all old function names with clear migration paths
• Updated all internal tip rack definitions to use the new function names
• Improved documentation with catalog numbers and clearer descriptions

Both hamilton_tip_5000uL and hamilton_tip_5000uL_filter reference the same Venus tip type (tt25). These should likely have different Venus tip type identifiers since one has a filter and one does not. Please verify the correct Venus tip types for these two functions.

Suggested change

	"""Hamilton 5000 µL tip with filter (`tt25` in venus)"""
	"""Hamilton 5000 µL tip with filter"""

good point, but I have no idea where this is defined
