remove unnecessary gha-tools usage, put floors on conda dependencies

[jameslamb]

While working on #832 , I've noticed a couple of small opportunities for improvement. This has those updates.

• puts floors on all conda-installed libraries
  • for faster environment solves
  • and reduced risk of "surprise! fell back to a super old version" types of bugs
• removes installations of gha-tools only used for rapids-logger
  • fewer GitHub network requests = fewer flaky CI failures
• updates pre-commit hooks with pre-commit autoupdate
• cleans up excess empty lines in Dockerfiles

Look at this! Trying a floor made it clear that the openssl pinning from #810 made these images fall back to an older ipython!

That's exactly the type of thing the pinning is supposed to help us discover, this makes me happy 😁

Looks like in recent successful builds we got ipython==8.37.0, so I'll try moving the pin back to that.

...
#13 38.74   + ipython                                8.37.0  pyh8f84b5b_0                                  conda-forge     639kB
