Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Add Styling Guide to documentation

This commit introduces a new Styling Guide to the project documentation.

The guide (`docs/styling_guide.md`) is generated based on an analysis
of the project's existing linter (Pylint) and formatter (Black)
configurations (`pylintrc`, `pyproject.toml`) as well as Mypy settings.

It summarizes key conventions, including:
- Code formatting with Black (100-char line length).
- Naming conventions (snake_case, PascalCase, etc.).
- Indentation (4 spaces) and line endings (LF).
- Docstring expectations.
- Type checking enforcement with Mypy.

The new guide has been linked from the Contributing page
(`docs/contributing.md`) and added to the site navigation
in `mkdocs.yml`.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Refine documentation and revert styling guide

This commit applies several targeted adjustments to the documentation
based on user feedback:

- Styling Guide: Rolled back the recent addition of the styling guide.
  - `docs/styling_guide.md` is not included.
  - References in `docs/contributing.md` and `mkdocs.yml` removed.
  - `docs/contributing.md` retains earlier improvements regarding
    Black/Pylint mentions and `grip` usage.
- `docs/cookbook.md`:
  - Reverted the section heading concerning logging configuration
    back to "Using `fileConfig`" and adjusted its description.
- `docs/index.md`:
  - Ensured heading levels are consistent with the original structure.
  - Removed a specific clarifying comment from a code example.
- `docs/quickstart.md`:
  - Uncommented an example line related to default logging fields.
- `mkdocs.yml`:
  - Restored the `literate-nav` plugin configuration to its previous state.

These changes fine-tune the documentation improvements and remove the
recently added styling guide components.
