Remove deprecated Ruff option from pyproject.toml

python-mpd2 unreliably returns either a single value or a list of
values for commands like currentsong, which is super fun if you're
trying to write type stubs for it that statically describe its
behaviour. Whee.

Anyway, I ended up changing my internal song model to always use lists
for tags like artist and genre which are likely to have multiple values.
There's some finagling involved in massaging python-mpd2's output into
lists every time. However it's much nicer to work with an object that
always has a list of artists, even if it's a list of one or zero
artists, rather than an object that can have a single artist, a list of
multiple artists, or a null. So it's worth it.

The MPNowPlayingInfoCenter in MacOS only works with single string values
for these tags, not lists, so we have to join the artists and such into
a single string for its consumption. I'm using commas for the separator
at the moment, but I may make this a config option later on if there's
interest.
