[pylint] Implement empty-comment (PLR2044) (#9174)
## Summary

Part of #970.

This adds Pylint's [R0244
empty_comment](https://pylint.pycqa.org/en/latest/user_guide/messages/refactor/empty-comment.html)
lint as well as an always-safe fix.

## Test Plan

The included snapshot verifies the following:

- A line containing only a non-empty comment is not changed
- A line containing leading whitespace before a non-empty comment is not
changed
- A line containing only an empty comment has its content deleted
- A line containing only leading whitespace before an empty comment has
its content deleted
- A line containing only leading and trailing whitespace on an empty
comment has its content deleted
- A line containing trailing whitespace after a non-empty comment is not
changed
- A line containing only a single newline character (i.e. a blank line)
is not changed
- A line containing code followed by a non-empty comment is not changed
- A line containing code followed by an empty comment has its content
deleted after the last non-whitespace character
- Lines containing code and no comments are not changed
- Empty comment lines within block comments are ignored
- Empty comments within triple-quoted sections are ignored

## Comparison to Pylint

Running Ruff and Pylint 3.0.3 with Python 3.12.0 against the
`empty_comment.py` file added in this PR, we see the following:

* Identical behavior:
* empty_comment.py:3:0: R2044: Line with empty comment (empty-comment)
* empty_comment.py:4:0: R2044: Line with empty comment (empty-comment)
* empty_comment.py:5:0: R2044: Line with empty comment (empty-comment)
* empty_comment.py:18:0: R2044: Line with empty comment (empty-comment)

* Differing behavior:
* Pylint doesn't ignore empty comments in block comments commonly used
for visual spacing; I decided these were fine in this implementation
since many projects use these and likely do not want them removed.
* empty_comment.py:28:0: R2044: Line with empty comment (empty-comment)
* Pylint detects "empty comments" within the triple-quoted section at
the bottom of the file, which is arguably a bug in the Pylint
implementation since these are not truly comments. These are ignored by
this implementation.
* empty_comment.py:37:0: R2044: Line with empty comment (empty-comment)
* empty_comment.py:38:0: R2044: Line with empty comment (empty-comment)
* empty_comment.py:39:0: R2044: Line with empty comment (empty-comment)
