devtools: Add codespell to pre-commit.
What the developer wrote
Authored by Se7enZ
devtools: Add codespell to pre-commit.
Includes default config file and an initial word list to ignore.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds a spelling-check tool called codespell to the project's pre-commit hooks. It only touches configuration files for checking typos in documentation and source comments, and does not change any actual Lightning node code. There is no security relevance.
No security action needed; this is a routine developer-tooling change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
