Some code styling through Ruff for linting

[Geeks-Sid]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, there is a need for robust linting capabilities within the development environment to ensure code quality and adherence to coding standards. While existing linters offer some level of support, there is a gap in the availability of a comprehensive and efficient Python linter specifically designed for detecting potential security vulnerabilities and bugs.

Describe the solution you'd like
I propose integrating Ruff, a powerful Python linter, into the development environment. Ruff is specifically designed to analyze Python code for common security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and coding errors. By incorporating Ruff, developers can benefit from real-time feedback and suggestions to improve code quality and mitigate potential risks.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context
Integrating Ruff into the development environment would streamline the code review process and enhance the overall security posture of the GaNDLF. Additionally, Ruff's extensibility allows for customization to suit specific project requirements. A seamless integration of Ruff would empower developers to write more secure and reliable Python code.

@Geeks-Sid - are you still planning to put this in?

[Geeks-Sid]

Sorry for the AWOL. I was not able to get it running without giving write permissions to a bot and therefore it becomes a glorified lint checker. Do you think we should allow bots write permissions to PR?

Do you think we should allow bots write permissions to PR?

I don't think giving it write access is a good idea. However, having this as a check could potentially be of benefit. I am not very familiar with ruff, though. Can you give a high-level overview?
