Add basic `CLAUDE.md` file
We add a basic `CLAUDE.md` file pointing it to some workspace specifics
(in particular running `cargo fmt` on 1.75.0 MSRV, and using
`./ci/ci-tests.sh` to run tests).

What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds a documentation file (CLAUDE.md) that gives instructions to an AI coding assistant about how to work with the project. It does not change any program code, build scripts, tests, or configuration that could affect security.
No security action needed. Treat as a normal documentation/process commit.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff

+## Development Rules
+
+- Always ensure tests pass before committing. To this end, you should run the test suite via `./ci/ci-tests.sh`.
+- Run `cargo +1.75.0 fmt --all` after every code change
+- Never add new dependencies unless explicitly requested
+- Please always disclose the use of any AI tools in commit messages and PR descriptions using a `Co-Authored-By:` line.
+- When adding new `.rs` files, please ensure to always add the licensing header as found, e.g., in `lightning/src/lib.rs` and other files.
