refactor: remove Super-linter and pylint, standardize on ruff

- Remove Super-linter Docker container (2.4GB overhead)
- Remove pylint dependency and configuration
- Consolidate linting into single job with ruff
- Enhance ruff configuration with additional rule sets (bugbear, simplify, pylint-equivalent)
- Reduce CI complexity from 84 to 42 lines
- ~40 seconds faster CI runs
