Subject: [PATCH] Create a new directory for non-user-facing scripts

Create a directory for scripts that are useful to maintainers, and may be
invoked as part of the CI, but are not part of the normal build.

These scripts may require a recent Python version and may require additional
third-party modules, unlike user-facing scripts where we try to minimize
requirements.
