Format Go with gofmt, then golines -m 77 (closes #160)

REPO_POLICIES names gofmt then golines -m 77 as the Go formatter, says
what script/fmt, script/fmt-check and script/bootstrap do, and pins
golines v0.13.0 by commit hash. The Go style guide and both checklists
agree. lll stays at 88: golines leaves long strings and comments alone.
