Ruff is an all-in-one linter and formatter that supports rulesets from our current linters, as well as many others. There are a few reasons to switch:

• Ruff is enormously faster than our current linters, particularly Pylint, which reduces friction during development.
• Ruff supports automatic fixes for many lints (e.g. automatically removing unused imports).
• pydocstyle is no longer maintained, and its maintainers recommend switching to Ruff.

Switching will require adding support in nox-utils, then switching Core/Analytics over and fixing any new issues that are raised.

Sparked by this discussion on Slack (private channel, apologies to anyone that can't access it), though it has been on my radar for a bit.
