Quality-checking tooling: let's move to newer ones, pytype is deprecated, `ruff` is popular, etc.

Feature or Model Request

13-minutes-ago I was informed that pytype is no longer maintained google/pytype/issues/1838

pylint, black (pyink is forked from back) have an alternative in the Rust-written much-faster and more popular ruff.

pytype has many alternatives, like the Rust-written Pyrefly from Meta or ty (the latter from the same people as ruff).

Additional Context

I can make the changes to support this new approach, including adding new pre-commit-hooks and updating the codebase to be both conformant and compliant.
