Make the golangci-lint settings take effect: v2 config layout, linter pinned at v2.12.2 (closes #10)

golangci-lint v2 ignores a top-level linters-settings block without a
warning, so limits such as the 88-column line length were never
applied. .golangci.yml is now the canonical copy from sneak/prompts,
verbatim, which keeps its settings under linters.settings and also
configures depguard and gomodguard_v2. golangci-lint is pinned at
v2.12.2 by commit in the Dockerfile and script/bootstrap. The long
lines in attrsum.go are rewrapped and one nolint directive moves to
its own line; behaviour is unchanged.
