* EnvFactory now uses the creation of a single environment as
the basic functionality which the more high-level functions build
upon
* Introduce enum EnvMode to indicate the purpose for which an env
is created, allowing the factory creation process to change its
behaviour accordingly
* Add EnvFactoryGymnasium to provide direct support for envs that
can be created via gymnasium.make
- EnvPool is supported via an injectible EnvPoolFactory
- Existing EnvFactory implementations are now derived from
EnvFactoryGymnasium
* Use a separate environment (which uses new EnvMode.WATCH) for
watching agent performance after training (instead of using test
environments, which the user may want to configure differently)
of number of environments in SamplingConfig is used
(values are now passed to factory method)
This is clearer and removes the need to pass otherwise
unnecessary configuration to environment factories at
construction
* Add persistence/restoration of Experiment instance
* Add file logging in experiment
* Allow all persistence/logging to be disabled
* Disable persistence in tests
Preparation for #914 and #920
Changes formatting to ruff and black. Remove python 3.8
## Additional Changes
- Removed flake8 dependencies
- Adjusted pre-commit. Now CI and Make use pre-commit, reducing the
duplication of linting calls
- Removed check-docstyle option (ruff is doing that)
- Merged format and lint. In CI the format-lint step fails if any
changes are done, so it fulfills the lint functionality.

Changes:
- Disclaimer in README
- Replaced all occurences of Gym with Gymnasium
- Removed code that is now dead since we no longer need to support the
old step API
- Updated type hints to only allow new step API
- Increased required version of envpool to support Gymnasium
- Increased required version of PettingZoo to support Gymnasium
- Updated `PettingZooEnv` to only use the new step API, removed hack to
also support old API
- I had to add some `# type: ignore` comments, due to new type hinting
in Gymnasium. I'm not that familiar with type hinting but I believe that
the issue is on the Gymnasium side and we are looking into it.
- Had to update `MyTestEnv` to support `options` kwarg
- Skip NNI tests because they still use OpenAI Gym
- Also allow `PettingZooEnv` in vector environment
- Updated doc page about ReplayBuffer to also talk about terminated and
truncated flags.
Still need to do:
- Update the Jupyter notebooks in docs
- Check the entire code base for more dead code (from compatibility
stuff)
- Check the reset functions of all environments/wrappers in code base to
make sure they use the `options` kwarg
- Someone might want to check test_env_finite.py
- Is it okay to allow `PettingZooEnv` in vector environments? Might need
to update docs?
- A DummyTqdm class added to utils: it replicates the interface used by trainers, but does not show the progress bar;
- Added a show_progress argument to the base trainer: when show_progress == True, dummy_tqdm is used in place of tqdm.
