[Python] Configure pre-commit hook to run ruff on archery and other developer tools

[kszucs]

I am aware that this is a somewhat controversial topic, but black/ruff are becoming standard nowadays and can can save us a significant amount of manual work. While cython isn’t supported by either of these tools, we have plenty of pure Python code where we could benefit from modern automatic formatting. I understand that we have different style preferences, but maintaining consistency without an auto formatter is simply too time consuming.

Here I configured ruff to be used on the developer tools under the dev/ directory. I applied formatting and configured a list rules to exclude when running ruff check dev/. Some of these rules would make sense to enable, but I wanted to keep manual edits low for now, we can enable those incrementally in follow-ups.

Later on we could add other python scripts to ruff formatting, such as:

• python tools under cpp/
• maybe even python/**/*.py
