chore: fix all pylint warnings, raise score to 10.00/10

- Add module/class/method docstrings where missing
- Fix import order and use from-import style
- Add check= to all subprocess.run calls
- Suppress protected-access on _saved_rules function attribute pattern
- Remove unused QObject import in spoof_detector
- Fix closeEvent invalid-name with pylint disable (Qt override)
- Remove unnecessary lambda in _SnifferThread.run
- Move device_details_window init to __init__
- Suppress lazy scapy imports (wrpcap, QApplication) with disable comment
- Update .pylintrc: raise design limits, disable too-few-public-methods
  and import-outside-toplevel globally
