Migrate to pre-commit.ci for pre-commit checks

Currently the Code Checks workflow is emitting a few warnings.

One of them is the following:
Run pre-commit

The following actions uses Node.js version which is deprecated and will be forced to run on node20: actions/setup-python@v4, pre-commit/action@v2.0.3. For more info: https://github.blog/changelog/2024-03-07-github-actions-all-actions-will-run-on-node20-instead-of-node16-by-default/

The pre-commit/action README has the following message;
https://github.com/pre-commit/action

this action is in maintenance-only mode and will not be accepting new features.
generally you want to use pre-commit.ci which is faster and has more features.

I think we should consider performing the migration to pre-comit.ci.

Start by inspecting the Code Checks workflow and the repository's current pre-commit setup, especially its use of pre-commit/action. Compare that setup with pre-commit.ci's documented integration and confirm how checks are triggered. Done means the migration is complete and the reported deprecated Node.js warnings no longer appear in the checks.
