Add option to scripts-dev/lint.sh to only lint files changed since the last git commit (#8472)

This PR makes several changes to the `./scripts-dev/lint.sh` script, which lints the codebase with a number of tools:

* Adds usage information, with `-h` flag to show it. Otherwise it will show when providing an unknown flag.
* Adds option `-d` which will check both staged and unstaged files that have changed since the last commit and add them to the list of files to lint.
  - Note that only files without an extension, or with a `.py` extension will be allowed. This prevents editing bash scripts causing the linters to break on non-python files.
* Improves the print-out of which files/directories are being linted.

+You can also provided the `-d` option, which will lint the files that have been
+changed since the last git commit. This will often be significantly faster than
+linting the whole codebase.
