In CI, test with Go 1.23 and 1.24,
and upgrade the Hermit-managed Go and golangci-lint to latest versions.
The new golangci-lint had a number of warnings and minor issues
that were either fixed or opted-out of.
The golangci-lint being used was quite dated.
This change upgrades to the latest version.
Adds and updates exclusions based on new failures.
Note on revive:
I've included an opt-out for unused parameters for revive
because turning `newThing(required bool)` to `newThing(_ bool)`
is a loss of useful information.
The changes to the Go files are to fix the following issues:
```
camelcase.go:16: File is not `gofmt`-ed with `-s` (gofmt)
config_test.go:50:18: directive `//nolint: gosec` is unused for linter "gosec" (nolintlint)
defaults_test.go:28:25: G601: Implicit memory aliasing in for loop. (gosec)
doc.go:5: File is not `gofmt`-ed with `-s` (gofmt)
kong.go:446:18: directive `//nolint: gosec` is unused for linter "gosec" (nolintlint)
kong_test.go:503:20: G601: Implicit memory aliasing in for loop. (gosec)
model.go:493:10: composites: reflect.ValueError struct literal uses unkeyed fields (govet)
scanner.go:112: File is not `gofmt`-ed with `-s` (gofmt)
```
And to address broken nolint directives reported as follows by
golangci-lint.
```
[.. skipped .. ]
tag.go:65:1: directive `// nolint:gocyclo` should be written without leading space as `//nolint:gocyclo` (nolintlint)
tag.go:206:51: directive `// nolint: gocyclo` should be written without leading space as `//nolint: gocyclo` (nolintlint)
util_test.go:23:43: directive `// nolint: errcheck` should be written without leading space as `//nolint: errcheck` (nolintlint)
util_test.go:51:22: directive `// nolint: errcheck` should be written without leading space as `//nolint: errcheck` (nolintlint)
