big pylint refactor

[whoburg]

Alright, I bit the bullet and got the entire gpkit/ package up to date with the latest pylint (pylint 3.0.3). My goal was to reduce custom rcfile settings, use local pylint disable statements where warranted, and get the code base in line with the latest pylint with default settings.

I did identify three warnings (disabled in the current PR) that I feel warrant opening issues to address:

• significant chuck of duplicate code in solution_array.py and in constraints/set.py
• numerous cyclic import warnings
• a modified-iterating-list warning in interactive/plotting.py, warning that a value parents used to control iteration in a loop is also being modified within that same loop

This PR currently handles the gpkit directory, including gpkit/tests, but does not touch docs/source/examples at all. That can be the next pylint PR.

Review definitely warranted and welcome.

Macys is running Python 3.12, where distutils has been deprecated and removed. Unfortunately mosek 9.1 used distutils. I've installed mosek 10.1 to see if that fixes it, or just creates new problems.

[galbramc]

No dice... Mosek uses setuptools as well which is also gone in Python 3.12...

[whoburg]

Gotcha, we probably can't support python 3.12 then until mosek does as well as well.

Added more commits that address docs/source/examples. On my local machine, this makes pylint.sh run without any pylint failures. Ready for review.

I'm at SciTech this week. I won't be able to fix macy's for you to use an older version of Python until some time next week.
