Set canonical .golangci.yml to the org-standard v2 config (golangci-lint v2.12.2) (#24)

Requested by sneak.

Sets the canonical `.golangci.yml` to the org-standard v2-schema config already deployed byte-identical across the org's Go repos (vaultik, sfdupes, attrsum, upaas, simplelog, mfer, secret, rgoue, bsfirehose). sha256: `021cc83f4e6fc7c31b95b34b846723dfcf20b66b7baeea1dc40406e643346bcb`.

Why: settings live under `linters.settings`, so the lll/funlen/cyclop/dupl thresholds actually apply under golangci-lint v2. The old canonical file kept them under top-level `linters-settings`, which v2 ignores.

Version note: golangci-lint v2.12.2 tag = commit `c0d3ddc9cf3faa61a4e378e879ece580256d76e5`, recorded for consuming repos. This repo itself has no version pins; the `v2.x.x` / `@sha256:...` strings in `prompts/REPO_POLICIES.md` are intentional placeholders and are unchanged.

Known informational note: this config does not disable the deprecated `gomodguard` linter, so golangci-lint 2.12.x prints a deprecation warning. Harmless, accepted.

Matches dnswatcher PR #96: sneak/dnswatcher#96

Verification: `make check` green (prettier fmt-check on all markdown) after `make fmt`; `.golangci.yml` sha256 verified as `021cc83f...` matching the org-standard file.
