build: update golangci-lint to v2.12.2 with canonical config

Replace the commit-pinned golangci-lint install refs in Dockerfile and
script/bootstrap with the v2.12.2 version pin, and replace .golangci.yml
with the canonical v2-schema config (lint settings now live under
linters.settings, so the lll/funlen/cyclop/dupl thresholds are actually
applied).

Fix all findings surfaced by the newly-applied config:

- goconst: introduce shared constants for repeated status, priority,
  and DNS fixture strings in watcher.go and the notify, state, and
  watcher tests
- dupl: consolidate duplicated ntfy/slack HTTP-error tests and
  SendNotification endpoint-error tests behind shared helpers
- lll: wrap long test table entries and comments; shorten one inline
  nolint justification

-## No DNS mocking. Ever.
-
-**DNS is never mocked in this project — not in tests, not anywhere else.**
-No mock resolvers, no fake DNS servers, no stubbed lookups.
-
-dnswatcher's entire purpose is correct behavior against the real DNS.
-Tests exercise real iterative resolution against live nameservers by
-design; a test suite that passes against a mock proves nothing about the
-one thing this program exists to do.
-
-When live tests are flaky, that is a robustness problem, and it gets
-fixed with robustness: retries with backoff, querying multiple
-independent nameservers, longer timeouts — or explicit opt-in gating
-decided by the project owner. Never with mocks.
-
-Contributions that introduce mocked, faked, or stubbed DNS will be
-rejected.
