ci: add moreutils to lint job
Makes the sponge utility available for an upcoming scripted-diff.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply adds a small utility package called 'moreutils' to the software's automated testing and linting environment. It does not change any Bitcoin Core code that handles transactions, networking, wallets, or consensus. There is no security issue here.
No security action required. This is a routine CI infrastructure change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch modifies ci/lint/01_install.sh to install the ‘moreutils’ Debian package in the CI lint container, specifically to make the ‘sponge’ utility available for a future scripted-diff. This is a build/CI dependency change only; no application code is modified.
