   This PR addresses several code quality issues in the contrib/seeds/makeseeds.py script:

   Changes

   • Remove unused variable: Eliminate unused i variable in the filterbyasn function enumeration
   • Simplify control flow: Remove unnecessary else clause after return statement in parseline function
   • Fix file encoding: Add explicit UTF-8 encoding specification to file operations for better cross-platform compatibility
   • Correct type annotation: Fix incorrect type annotation for asn_count dictionary that was causing type checking errors

   Testing

   • Verified the script compiles successfully after changes
   • Confirmed pylint score improved from 8.59/10 to 8.78/10
   • No functional changes to the seed generation logic

   Motivation

   These changes improve code maintainability and fix compatibility issues without altering the core functionality of the seed generation process.
