[ruff] Ignore str() when not used for simple conversion (RUF065) (#21330)
## Summary

Fixed RUF065 (`logging-eager-conversion`) to only flag `str()` calls
when they perform a simple conversion that can be safely removed. The
rule now ignores `str()` calls with no arguments, multiple arguments,
starred arguments, or keyword unpacking, preventing false positives.

Fixes #21315

## Problem Analysis

The RUF065 rule was incorrectly flagging all `str()` calls in logging
statements, even when `str()` was performing actual conversion work
beyond simple type coercion. Specifically, the rule flagged:

- `str()` with no arguments - which returns an empty string
- `str(b"data", "utf-8")` with multiple arguments - which performs
encoding conversion
- `str(*args)` with starred arguments - which unpacks arguments
- `str(**kwargs)` with keyword unpacking - which passes keyword
arguments

These cases cannot be safely removed because `str()` is doing meaningful
work (encoding conversion, argument unpacking, etc.), not just redundant
type conversion.

The root cause was that the rule only checked if the function was
`str()` without validating the call signature. It didn't distinguish
between simple `str(value)` conversions (which can be removed) and more
complex `str()` calls that perform actual work.

## Approach

The fix adds validation to the `str()` detection logic in
`logging_eager_conversion.rs`:

1. **Check argument count**: Only flag `str()` calls with exactly one
positional argument (`str_call_args.args.len() == 1`)
2. **Check for starred arguments**: Ensure the single argument is not
starred (`!str_call_args.args[0].is_starred_expr()`)
3. **Check for keyword arguments**: Ensure there are no keyword
arguments (`str_call_args.keywords.is_empty()`)

This ensures the rule only flags cases like `str(value)` where `str()`
is truly redundant and can be removed, while ignoring cases where
`str()` performs actual conversion work.

The fix maintains backward compatibility - all existing valid test cases
continue to be flagged correctly, while the new edge cases are properly
ignored.
