Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: Add createwordlist target to regenerate the ignored
 words list

codespell is a popular Python package:

https://pypi.org/project/codespell/

We already run codespell with pre-commit.

This addition to the Makefile is for tooling and developer productivity.

Helpful when doing a local cleanup of the spelling
