Enable Pylint or Replace it with ruff

[asadali145]

Description:
While working on the Wagtail upgrade #2830, we disabled Pylint as we were facing issues with the string-based model field references. It was taking extra time to find the correct versions for the Pylint upgrade. In this issue, we would like to either enable Pylint or replace it with ruff for the lining and formatting. It was suggested to use Ruff in a Tech Talk.

Steps to reproduce the issue:
Run Pylint against any file locally and you will get an error with the stacktrace:

Blocked by #2830

But we can start using the wagtail upgrade branch asad/wagtail-upgrade

[asadali145]

We have disabled D401 by adding it to the ignores list in pyproject.toml. We will be fixing the docstrings in a followup PR later.
