Swap python linter and formatter to ruff

[janbridley]

Description

Flake8 and yapf have been replaced with a minimal ruff config. Autofixes have been applied, and manual fixes have been implemented where necessary. pre-commit has been updated to use ruff.

Motivation and context

In addition to the increased performance, using ruff brings fresnel's python tooling up to spec with most other glotzerlab packages. Note that the config options selected here match the previous flake8 selections, with the exception of the RST rules which are not supported. Additional (more opinionated) options can be added in a future PR.

Thanks, this is great!

Let's embrace the black-like default config and set the line length to 88. With the popularity of black, most users likely have python rulers set to 88 these days.

We should also update style.rst to reference ruff instead of yapf and remove references to the yapf plugins.

Done - everything should be sorted now!
