Problem: pre-commit dependencies conflict with each other

[replaceafill]

Please describe the problem you'd like to be solved

The latest versions of our code formatter, black, conflict with our import sorting package, reorder-python-imports. See psf/black#4175

This has forced us to pin black to an old version in all our Python packages.

Describe the solution you'd like to see implemented

Many open source Python projects, including a3m, have moved to using ruff instead of black for code formatting. ruff also includes import sorting capabilities and might allow us to drop other pre-commit dependencies like flake8 and pyupgrade.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Replacing reorder-python-imports with isort.
