Add .pylintrc file

[apivovarov]

The JAX project utilizes non-standard PEP 8 settings for indentation.

To validate Python files, we can leverage a .pylintrc configuration file.

For reference, the TensorFlow project has an existing .pylintrc file that outlines its settings.

This PR introduces a .pylintrc file for the JAX project, modeled after the configuration used in TensorFlow.

[FORMAT]

# Maximum number of characters on a single line.
max-line-length=80

# String used as indentation unit. This is usually " " (4 spaces) or "\t" (1
# tab).
indent-string='  '

Usage Example:

### check files in HEAD commit
git diff --name-only HEAD^ HEAD | xargs pylint

Hi - thanks for the PR. We already have pylint configuration in pyproject.toml, and I'd prefer to keep all such configs in a single location

Also, a while ago we moved off pylint and now use ruff for formatting. It's set up as a pre-commit hook, though we only enable a few checks.

Got it. Thank you for the info!
