devtools: Add `fix-style-errors` script by @sangbida.
A helper tool to fix code style errors using `ruff` and `clang-format`
and correct spelling.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds a new developer helper script that automatically fixes code style problems in Python and C files and corrects spelling mistakes. It is a tooling addition for maintainers and contributors, not a change to the wallet, network, or cryptographic code of Core Lightning. There is no security issue visible in the commit itself.
No security action required. Reviewers may optionally verify that the script is only used on intended source files and that running it in a dirty working tree does not accidentally overwrite uncommitted changes, as already noted by the in-script warning.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The new devtools/fix-style-errors shell script iterates over supplied file paths and runs ruff (Python lint/format), clang-format (C formatting), and codespell (spelling fixes). It redirects stderr to /dev/null for clang-format and codespell. The script is marked destructive and intended as an auxiliary to pre-commit hooks. No runtime, consensus, or cryptographic code is modified.
