Easier documentation, pre-commit updates, and more

Lots of new features and updates were incorporated in this release. Automatic documentation is now easier with support for building notebooks automatically. Mypy checking is now offered as part of continuous integration. If you don't need example code and tests you can exclude those from hydrated templates. Lots of usability improvements and bug fixes.
