use black 2024

[JannisNe]

For now black version 2023 is pinned in pyproject.toml and #346 also pins it in the CI job. At some point we can switch to newer formatting. Maybe when people are not in the middle of analyses.

We could also consider switching to ruff (although that can potentially do much more linting).

Can I suggest something like this: https://github.com/winter-telescope/wintertoo/blob/main/.github/workflows/black.yml

Basically, install black via pip/poetry rather than using the pre-built github action. That forces the two versions to always be aligned.

The advantage is that dependabot can then do the updating for you

I did that in the past for flarestack. Then I recall the upstream black action had been updated to pick up the black version from the repository, so I reverted the workflow to use the action. Not sure why the behaviour changed once again, but I agree that is better to run black ourselves from within the setup.

So future todo: run black manually and use poetry version from pyproject.toml.
