What kind of change does this PR introduce?

• Updates the cookiecutter to the latest changes, adopting PEPs 517, 518, and 621.
• Now using bump-my-version instead of bump2version.
• Linting is performed with ruff for the majority of checks, with minimal flake8-based checks (until such a time that these checks are ported to ruff).
• Documentation has been modified from the cookiecutter to maintain setuptools-relevant information.
• All non-babel configurations have migrated to .flake8 and pyproject.toml.
• Many low-effort lint-related fixes applied.
• tox builds are now more pure Python build friendly.
• pre-commit now has hooks for TOML files, JSON schemas, and ruff.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

There are no behavioural changes for users or developers, but the build system configurations are now more centralized into pyproject.toml. bump2version has been replaced with bump-my-version (maintained; pyproject.toml support).

setup.py has been mostly hollowed out. The only function remaining is that which generate the translations. This approach is the recommended way to maintain setup.py functionality in the new build system.

The contents of the wheel are set within pyproject.toml while those of the source distribution are still set via MANIFEST.in, similar to how it was configured before.

What's missing?

• ~The PR summary of changes needs to be fully described~
• ~Linting checks need to be reconfigured for ruff~
• ~Trusted Publishing needs to be configured~

I have two commits waiting to resolve (?). Once those are in, feel free to review!

Edit: They're in.

We'll need to modify PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md to refer to CHANGES.rst, instead of HISTORY.rst
