Subject: [PATCH v2 00/20] rv/rvgen: Robustness, modernization, and fixes

This patch series introduces fixes and improvements to the RV Generator
(rvgen) tool in tools/verification. The primary goal is to enhance the
tool's robustness, maintainability, and correctness by addressing
several latent bugs, modernizing the Python codebase, and improving its
overall structure and error handling.

The changes include fixing logic errors in DOT file validation,
resolving unbound variable errors that could lead to runtime crashes,
and improving exception handling by removing dangerous bare except
clauses. The codebase is updated to use contemporary Python idioms such
as f-strings and context managers. Additionally, type annotations are
added to resolve static analysis errors.

Changes in v2:
- Dropped patches related to the @not_implemented decorator and
  abstract method stubs (v1 patches 9, 18, 19) to address class
  hierarchy improvements in a separate series.
- Dropped trivial cleanup patches (boolean simplification, __contains__)
  as they were already fixed after rebasing from
  linux-trace/latency/for-next.
- Merged typo fix patches into a single patch.
- Changed the fix for the unbound loop variable warning in abbreviate_atoms
  pyright report.
- Reworked initial state validation to strictly enforce the presence of
  an initial state.
