Samuel AttardandClaude 8d424eb34d build: run the TypeScript scripts under script/ with plain node (#54168)
ts-node was used as a CLI for a handful of TypeScript scripts under
script/. Those now rely on the type stripping built into Node.js instead:

- script/gen-filenames, check-patch-diff, run-clang-tidy and the release
  helpers (find-github-release, upload-to-github, github-token, types)
  are renamed to .mts and invoked with `node`. They use
  import.meta.dirname and explicit .mts / .js specifiers, and
  tsconfig.script.json moves to nodenext with verbatimModuleSyntax so
  tsc checks them the way Node runs them.
- The documented minimum Node.js for building goes from 22.12 to 22.18,
  the first 22.x release with type stripping on by default.
- script/codesign/gen-trust.ts and its trust.xml template are deleted;
  nothing has invoked them since generate-identity.sh switched to a
  user-scoped keychain in #50058.
- oxfmt, oxlint, lint-staged and .gitattributes learn about .mts.

ts-node itself stays for now because the spec runner still loads specs
through its require hook.
