First Week of January 2023 in Darker: Progress on stdin mode and linter improvements

[akaihola]

This week, we made significant strides in developing the stdin mode feature and improving our linter integration. The stdin mode implementation, which addresses issue #239, is progressing with discussions on various design options. We're considering approaches like --stdin-filename, :STDIN: as rev2, and a hybrid design that could accommodate different use cases. These changes aim to enhance Darker's flexibility when working with input from standard streams.

On the linting front, we've been working on running linters twice to establish a baseline and show only new messages (PR #393). This improvement will help users focus on relevant changes by hiding linter messages that were already present in the baseline. We've also been tackling some Windows-specific issues related to file handling and permissions, which have caused test failures. Additionally, we explored the compatibility of various docstring linters with Darker, including darglint and flake8-docstrings, providing example commands for their usage.
