Four new tools that I had to create for my demo app.
Addresses general improvements to all toolkits including changing ruff
from python 3.9 to python 3.10 which is the reason for the removal of
Optional[] among others.
Also, turns out that our `make install` for toolkits wasn't correctly
checking for whether poetry was installed (&> /dev/null syntax isn't
supported by our check-toolkits GitHub action, so we were installing
poetry twice. I replaced with the more portable >/dev/null 2>&1)
Question: Should we also change ruff to py310 for the `arcade/` package
in a later PR?

### Why not use an SDK?
Reddit API does not have an official SDK, although
[PRAW](https://github.com/praw-dev/praw) has large community support.
I played around with PRAW, but ultimately decided to not use an SDK.
PRAW made it incredibly easy to work with Reddit Objects, but there were
a few drawbacks that ultimately swayed me to not use it:
1. PRAW assumes that it will do the auth for you. A client ID and secret
must be passed to PRAW, but a tool only has the auth token. I was able
to hack around this by manipulating private properties - but it felt too
hacky
2. PRAW does not support Python 3.13
3. PRAW is not async. There is
[AsyncPRAW](https://github.com/praw-dev/asyncpraw), but the community
does not look active there.
