- Introduced a copyright header template in `.copyright_header_template.txt` for consistent licensing across Python files.
- Added a `.pre-commit-config.yaml` file to enforce code quality checks, including copyright header verification, trailing whitespace removal, and YAML validation.
- Updated `CONTRIBUTING.md` to include instructions for setting up pre-commit hooks and guidelines for copyright headers.
- Implemented a `check_copyright.py` script to verify that Python files contain the required copyright headers.
- Updated various Python files to include the new copyright headers and author credits.
- Removed deprecated author contact information from several files for cleaner code.

- evaluate_and_log_point and NomadProblem propagate both infs and nans
- evaluate_and_log_point does not update best output values. This change will make it possible to use evaluate_and_log_point with other optimization problems in the library
- WeightedAcquisition was generalized to deal with constraints and perturbation probability in the API. This almost make TransitionSearch superseeded, intentionally. We might remove TransitionSearch in future commits.
- GosacSample.optimize has been simplified

Changes in shebo:
- Now the surrogate training sets are synced in the begining of the algorithm.
- The new code works directly with the original bounds
- The acquisition function falls back into MaximizeDistance if all points generated by the original shebo strategy happen to be discarded.

Refactoring mostly for shebo
