Move deviations from formatter README to documentation (#10444)
## Summary

#10151 documented the deviations between Ruff and Black with the new
2024 style guide in the `ruff-python-formatter/README.md`. However,
that's not the documentation shown
on the website when navigating to [intentional
deviations](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/formatter/black/).

This PR streamlines the `ruff-python-formatter/README.md` and links to
the documentation on the website instead of repeating the same content.
The PR also makes the 2024 style guide deviations available on the
website documentation.

## Test Plan

I built the documentation locally and verified that the 2024 style guide
known deviations are now shown on the website.

Ruff Formatter

The Ruff formatter is an extremely fast Python code formatter that ships as part of the ruff CLI.

Goals

The formatter is designed to be a drop-in replacement for Black, but with an excessive focus on performance and direct integration with Ruff.

Specifically, the formatter is intended to emit near-identical output when run over Black-formatted code. When run over extensive Black-formatted projects like Django and Zulip, > 99.9% of lines are formatted identically. When migrating an existing project from Black to Ruff, you should expect to see a few differences on the margins, but the vast majority of your code should be unchanged.

If you identify deviations in your project, spot-check them against the intentional deviations enumerated below, as well as the unintentional deviations filed in the issue tracker. If you've identified a new deviation, please file an issue.

When run over non-Black-formatted code, the formatter makes some different decisions than Black, and so more deviations should be expected, especially around the treatment of end-of-line comments. For details, see Black compatibility.

Getting started

The Ruff formatter is available as of Ruff v0.1.2. Head to The Ruff Formatter for usage instructions and a comparison to Black.
