Update ruff to v0.8.x, reformat and re-lint (part 1 of 2)

2025-01-07T22:44:39+01:00

We update `ruff` to v0.8.x and reformat the sources.  Most
conspicuously, `assert` statements typically no longer break the
condition to test, and rather push the error message to the next line
instead.  Also, some implicit string concatenations are undone if they
*do* fit onto a single line.

We also re-lint the sources, and commit part of the linting fixes.
Specifically, omissions in the docstring (raised exceptions, return
values) are now marked as linting errors on the docstring itself,
instead of at the omitted object (`raise` or `return` statement).
Alternatively, we add the missing info to the docstring.  We also commit
linting fixes regarding improper usage of underscores in variable names
(leading underscore instead of trailing underscore on temporary
variables).  Finally, we correct some improper calls to the logging
system (root logger instead of application logger).

Fix missing context in CANNOT_UNDERSTAND_AGENT translatable string

Fix phrasing of "Cannot update %s settings" message

2025-01-07T19:46:51+01:00

The "Cannot update the global/service settings without actual
settings" messages contained "global" and "service" as (English) format
string parameters, and the actual translatable string contained no
indication what this placeholder actually meant.  This is of course
a horrible way to request a translation for those two messages.  We now
include translatable strings for each of the two possible values of the
metavar ("global settings" and "service-specific settings"), and proper
translation advice for the metavar value and the original translatable
strings.

The manpages have been updated as well, to reflect the slight change in
phrasing of the message.

Move manpages into separate directory to avoid name clashes

2025-01-07T15:50:41+01:00

This doesn't occur with offline documentation builds with `.html`
extensions, but *does* occur if using directories and `index.html`
files.  Sigh.

Add changelog entry, and FAQ for "altered versions" marking

The MIT license was originally suggested by the package manager, for
compatibility with the broader ecosystem.  This surely makes sense for
software libraries, and for projects in general if you don't have
a strong stance on free/libre open source software licensing (beyond
copyleft vs. non-copyleft).  For `derivepassphrase`, I respectfully
disagree; my priorities in development and maintenance lie primarily
with ensuring quality software, and not having bugs attributed to me
that I did not cause.  The zlib/libpng license fulfills this need much
better than the MIT license, and has similar license compatibility with
other FLOSS licenses.  Thus the license change.
