feat: add __init__.py in packages
allows for namespace sharing in a virtual environment otherwise gets overriden by pyln-proto-grpc's pyln folder

What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds small marker files (__init__.py) to several Python packages so they can share the same 'pyln' namespace in a virtual environment. It is a packaging/development fix, not a security patch. There is no indication it fixes a vulnerability or changes how the software protects funds or data.
Recommended action
No security action required. Treat as a normal build/packaging improvement.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change declares the ‘pyln’ and ‘pyln.spec’ directories as PEP 420-style namespace packages using pkgutil.extend_path. This prevents one installed package (specifically pyln-proto-grpc) from shadowing the others when multiple pyln-* packages are installed in the same environment. The diff only adds identical two-line init.py files and contains no logic changes, input handling, cryptography, networking, or permission changes.
