Upgrade flake8 in pre-commit and fix new warnings

Upgrading flake8 from 6.0.0 to 6.1.0 causes its pycodestyle
dependency to be upgraded from 2.10.* to 2.11.*, which is desirable
because:

- Spurious "E231 missing whitespace after ':'" warnings on 3.12 due
  to the lack of full compatibility with Python 3.12 are gone.

- New warnings appear, at least one of which, "E721 do not compare
  types, for exact checks use `is` / `is not`, for instance checks
  use `isinstance()`", does identify something we can improve.

This upgrades flake8 in pre-commit and fixes the new warnings.
