Make pre_push_check able to pass, and fix the defects it was hiding (#138)

Closes #133. Confirms #135 resolved by #137.

pre_push_check.py promised "run this before pushing to ensure GitHub Actions
won't fail" and could not pass. It shelled out to bare black/flake8/mypy/pytest,
so it ran whatever was first on PATH -- Anaconda's mypy 1.19 rather than the
project's 2.3, reporting 27 missing-stub errors for stubs pyproject declares.
Tools now run under the script's own interpreter.

Its flake8 step reported 91 findings. Four were real defects, including a
remote program wrapped in an outer f-string, so {torch.__version__}, {i},
{props.name} and {e} interpolated locally and the test raised NameError before
sending anything; and json.loads with no module-level import, swallowed by a
bare except. The other 74 were one deliberate pattern -- standalone scripts
that adjust sys.path or the environment before importing the package they
exercise -- now recorded once in .flake8.

Also fixes two things that made master red after its tests had passed, in
steps that never run on a pull request: the coverage-badge updater treated a
deliberately absent badge (#115) as an error, and the follow-on step pushed
with nothing to push. And the dependabot advisory against black, which stayed
open because it points at docs/requirements.txt, where black arrives
transitively and was unconstrained.
