ci: Use golangci-lint for linting

Using golangci-lint has a number of advantages:

- adding new linters becomes much easier, its a couple lines of yaml config
  instead of more bash scripting

- it enables whitelisting of issues using inline comments or regex

- when running multiple linters less work is done. The parsed source can be reused
  by multiple linters

- linters are run in parallel to reduce CI runtime.
