black has recently stabilized on version 22, which means that we can loosen the version restrictions a bit to get upstream bugfixes, without needing to worry about our formatting breaking unexpectedly. In 2023, they may issue a new release with breaking changes, but we won't be automatically upgraded.
There have been a large number of formatting changes since 20.8.b1, which is the last version we standardized on. This will likely require rebase of several of the existing PRs, but with relatively few of them currently active, I think it's as good a time as any.
