Best to review one commit at a time, since two of the commits are 100%
autogenerated changes from running `ruff format`:
- Install and use `ruff format` instead of black for code formatting.
- Output of `ruff format .` in the `langchain` package.
- Use `ruff format` in experimental package.
- Format changes in experimental package by `ruff format`.
- Manual formatting fixes to make `ruff .` pass.
Minor lint dependency version upgrade to pick up latest functionality.
Ruff's new v0.1 version comes with lots of nice features, like
fix-safety guarantees and a preview mode for not-yet-stable features:

### Description
The feature for anonymizing data has been implemented. In order to
protect private data, such as when querying external APIs (OpenAI), it
is worth pseudonymizing sensitive data to maintain full privacy.
Anonynization consists of two steps:
1. **Identification:** Identify all data fields that contain personally
identifiable information (PII).
2. **Replacement**: Replace all PIIs with pseudo values or codes that do
not reveal any personal information about the individual but can be used
for reference. We're not using regular encryption, because the language
model won't be able to understand the meaning or context of the
encrypted data.
We use *Microsoft Presidio* together with *Faker* framework for
anonymization purposes because of the wide range of functionalities they
provide. The full implementation is available in `PresidioAnonymizer`.
### Future works
- **deanonymization** - add the ability to reverse anonymization. For
example, the workflow could look like this: `anonymize -> LLMChain ->
deanonymize`. By doing this, we will retain anonymity in requests to,
for example, OpenAI, and then be able restore the original data.
- **instance anonymization** - at this point, each occurrence of PII is
treated as a separate entity and separately anonymized. Therefore, two
occurrences of the name John Doe in the text will be changed to two
different names. It is therefore worth introducing support for full
instance detection, so that repeated occurrences are treated as a single
object.
