NLP: zero findings, and two real bugs found on the way

384 findings to none across ten scripts. Most of it is annotation and
docstring work, but the lint surfaced two defects that had nothing to do with
style:

- `gpt_chunks.py` stripped its GPT preamble with
  `input_string.strip("iSTS chunks:")`. str.strip takes a SET OF CHARACTERS,
  not a prefix, so it also ate any leading i/S/T/s/c/h/u/n/k/space/colon:
  "iSTS chunks: sentence one" came out as "entence one", silently losing the
  first letter of every chunked sentence. Now removeprefix. ruff found it as
  B005 + PLE1310.
- `is_numbered_line_format` had `for string in string` in its list branch,
  which raises NameError the moment a list is passed (F821).
- `processing.test_XML()` read a module-level `alignments_data` that does not
  exist at module scope; it only ever ran when pasted into a live session. It
  takes the data as an argument now and is renamed `log_first_alignment` so
  pytest stops collecting a non-test as a test.

Also real rather than cosmetic:

- The OpenAI key was a placeholder string literal in three files, one of them
  carrying a "Replace me with os.environ['API_KEY']" comment. All three read
  OPENAI_API_KEY now and say so when it is missing -- as committed, none of
  these scripts could actually run.
- `rating.rate_similarity` was submitted unfinished: it built a client, never
  touched its two arguments and returned None despite `-> str`. It now makes
  the same call the rest of the package makes.
- The two 2 kB alignment prompts and one 344-character chunking prompt moved
  to prompts/*.txt. Wrapping them in source would have put newlines into the
  middle of the prompt.
- `format_alignments` parsed GPT's replies with `eval()`; the file holds one
  repr()'d string per line, so ast.literal_eval is both sufficient and safe.
- NLP/__init__.py deleted -- it made the course directory a package named
  "NLP", which is an invalid module name (N999) and which nothing imports;
  the scripts use plain `import processing`.

INP001 is settled the same way throughout: a coursework file run as
`python x.py` gets a shebang and the executable bit, which is what it is,
rather than an __init__.py that would make a course code into a module name.

Verified: every module compiles and `./run.sh run Programming/NLP` is clean.
The scripts themselves need the SemEval corpus and a paid API key, so they
are not executed here.

Repo-wide: 3,159 findings -> 2,775.

+You are a machine designed to align chunks from 2 sentences. This means you will be taking each chunk from one sentence and comparing it to every chunk from the other sentence. Choose the chunks with the strongest relation and assign them a score.
+
+The possible relations are:
+	EQUI: both chunks have the same meaning, they are semantically equivalent in this context.
+	OPPO: the meanings of the chunks are in opposition to each other, lying in an inherently incompatible binary relationship.
+	SPE1: both chunks have similar meanings, but chunk in sentence 1 is more specific.
+	SPE2: like SPE1, but it is the chunk in sentence 2 which is more specific.
+	SIMI: both chunks have similar meanings, they share similar attributes and there is no EQUI, OPPO, SPE1 or SPE2 relation
+	REL: both chunks are not considered similar but they are closely related by some relation not mentioned above (i.e. no EQUI, OPPO, SPE1, SPE2, or SIMI relation).
+	NOALI: this chunk has not any corresponding chunk in the other sentence. Therefore, it is left unaligned.
+
+The possible scores are a range from 0 to 5 where 0 means that the chunks are not related and 5 means their meanings are the same in the given context.
+
+A chunk can be aligned to multiple different chunks. Chunks can also be grouped in a relation. If a chunk has no relation to any other chunk, give it a NOALI relation to a an empty chunk.
+
+If there are spelling mistakes do not correct them.
+
+Present the answers in this form:
