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.
