Subject: spellcheck.py could have option 'ignore word for this page'
Original description:
spellcheck.py could have option 'ignore word for this page'. Now it just provides the option to 'ignore once' the word. Ignoring it for the rest of the page would be a great improvement.

Hello!
I was browsing through older tasks, and this one caught my eye. I’d love to give it a try.
If no one is working on this, can I go ahead and start exploring the spellcheck.py logic?

[pywikibot/core@master] [spellcheck] Port script to core and implement 'ignore for this page' option

Hello!
I noticed spellcheck.py was missing from the current scripts folder, so I followed the link - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/PWBO/browse/master/spellcheck.py - provided in T236642 to find the original code. I have now ported the script to the Core branch, updating the Python2 code to Python 3 standards (including fixes like handeleArgs to handle_args, print " " to print (""), xrange to range, AttributeErrors etc.). Additionally, I implemented the feature requested in T57110 by adding a 'p' ( similar to q for quit) option to ignore a specific word for the rest of the page.
I have uploaded the patch to Gerrit for review: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/pywikibot/core/+/1246857
As a newcomer, I’ve made as many changes and corrections as I could based on my current understanding of the codebase. I look forward to your feedback!
