fix(refactor): multiple fixups using ruff linter; more testing. Converting to using the ruff linter and its rulesets. Fixed a number of issues. admin.py: sort imports use immutable tuples as default value markers for parameters where a None value is valid. reduced some loops to list comprehensions for performance used ternary to simplify some if statements named some variables to make them less magic (e.g. _default_savepoint_setting = 1000) fixed some tests for argument counts < 2 becomes != 2 so 3 is an error. moved exception handlers outside of loops for performance where exception handler will abort loop anyway. renamed variables called 'id' or 'dir' as they shadow builtin commands. fix translations of form _("string %s" % value) -> _("string %s") % value so translation will be looked up with the key before substitution. end dicts, tuples with a trailing comma to reduce missing comma errors if modified simplified sorted(list(self.setting.keys())) to sorted(self.setting.keys()) as sorted consumes whole list. in if conditions put compared variable on left and threshold condition on right. (no yoda conditions) multiple noqa: suppression removed unneeded noqa as lint rulesets are a bit different do_get - refactor output printing logic: Use fast return if not special formatting is requested; use isinstance with a tuple rather than two isinstance calls; cleaned up flow and removed comments on algorithm as it can be easily read from the code. do_filter, do_find - refactor output printing logic. Reduce duplicate code. do_find - renamed variable 'value' that was set inside a loop. The loop index variable was also named 'value'. do_pragma - added hint to use list subcommand if setting was not found. Replaced condition 'type(x) is bool' with 'isinstance(x, bool)' for various types. test_admin.py added testing for do_list better test coverage for do_get includes: -S and -d for multilinks, error case for -d with non-link. better testing for do_find including all output modes better testing for do_filter including all output modes fixed expected output for do_pragma that now includes hint to use pragma list if setting not found.

Roundup Tracker Templates
=========================

The templates distributed with Roundup are stored in the "share" directory
nominated by Python. On Unix this is typically
``/usr/share/roundup/templates/`` (or ``/usr/local/share...``) and
on Windows this is ``c:\python27\share\roundup\templates\``.

The template loading looks in four places to find the templates:

1. *share* - eg. ``<prefix>/share/roundup/templates/*``.
   This should be the standard place to find them when Roundup is
   installed running setup.py from source.
2. ``install_dir``/../<prefix>/share/....``, where prefix is the
   Python's ``sys.prefix``. ``sys.base_prefix`` or 
   `sys.base_prefix/local``. This finds templates (and locales)
   installed by pip. E.G. in a virtualenv located at (``sys.prefix``):
   ``/tools/roundup``, roundup would be at:
   ``/tools/roundup/lib/python3.6/site-packages/roundup``. The
   templates would be at:
   ``/tools/roundup/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tools/roundup/share/roundup/templates/``.
3. ``<roundup.admin.__file__>/../../share/roundup/templates/*``.
   This will be used if Roundup's run in the distro (aka. source)
   directory.
4. ``<current working dir>/*``.
   This is for when someone unpacks a 3rd-party template.
5. ``<current working dir>``.
   This is for someone who "cd"s to the 3rd-party template dir.

Templates contain:

- modules ``schema.py`` and ``initial_data.py``
- directories ``html``, ``detectors`` and ``extensions``
  (with appropriate contents)
- optional directory ``lib`` which contains modules used by the other
  tracker components
- optional ``config_ini.ini`` file. It is structured like a tracker's
  ``config.ini`` but contains only headers (e.g. ``[main]``) and
  *required* parameters that are different from defaults. For example::
  
    [main]
    template_engine = jinja2

    static_files = static

  These settings override the default values in the tracker's
  ``config.ini`` when using roundup-admin to install a template.
- template "marker" file ``TEMPLATE-INFO.txt``, which contains
  the name of the template, a description of the template
  and its intended audience.

  An example TEMPLATE-INFO.txt:

  .. code-block:: text

     Name: classic
     Description: This is a generic issue tracker that may be used to
		  track bugs, feature requests, project issues or any
		  number of other types of issues. Most users of
		  Roundup will find that this template suits them,
		  with perhaps a few customisations.
     Intended-For: All first-time Roundup users
