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.

The new proposed feature is to have trainers as generators.
The usage pattern is:
```python
trainer = OnPolicyTrainer(...)
for epoch, epoch_stat, info in trainer:
print(f"Epoch: {epoch}")
print(epoch_stat)
print(info)
do_something_with_policy()
query_something_about_policy()
make_a_plot_with(epoch_stat)
display(info)
```
- epoch int: the epoch number
- epoch_stat dict: a large collection of metrics of the current epoch, including stat
- info dict: the usual dict out of the non-generator version of the trainer
You can even iterate on several different trainers at the same time:
```python
trainer1 = OnPolicyTrainer(...)
trainer2 = OnPolicyTrainer(...)
for result1, result2, ... in zip(trainer1, trainer2, ...):
compare_results(result1, result2, ...)
```
