Set up pre-commit hook(s)

[afuetterer]

Feature request

This is not a feature request for BERTopic itself, but for the build and CI setup.

I would like to propose to add a .pre-commit-config.yaml and use ruff via the pre-commit hook.

We did this for KeyBERT already last year, see:

• https://github.com/MaartenGr/KeyBERT/blob/master/.pre-commit-config.yaml
• https://github.com/MaartenGr/KeyBERT/blob/master/.github/workflows/testing.yml#L14-L20

What do you think?

Motivation

Right now the CI installs BERTopic itself including its several large dependencies just to lint to code base. This leads to a lint job, that runs ~2-3 minutes instead of a few seconds.

Your contribution

I would like to add a PR, if you like.

Yes, that would be great! It feels strange doing it manually when I normally have hooks everywhere else 😅
