Run all linting in Docker via Dockerfile.lint (closes #46)
Per the owner ruling, the linter runs inside a container invoked
through the script/ entrypoint and is never installed on a host. A new
root Dockerfile.lint COPYs the repo into the digest-pinned
golangci/golangci-lint:v2.12.2 image and runs `golangci-lint config
verify` and `golangci-lint run` as build steps, so a successful build
IS a clean lint. script/lint is reduced to building it, which also
works when the docker daemon is remote and bind mounts are impossible.

script/bootstrap loses the `go install`, the pin constants, the
version parser and verify_golangci_lint outright rather than being
hardened: with nothing linting on the host, the $GOPATH/bin versus
PATH shadowing problem those existed to diagnose has no subject. It
keeps the git/make/go presence checks and `go mod download`, and warns
rather than fails when docker is absent.

Two traps.

A lint build on an unchanged tree returns success in well under a
second having run no linter, which is #32 and #39 over again. Caching
is waived by ruling, so Dockerfile.lint carries ARG CHECK_EPOCH
referenced inside every gate RUN -- BuildKit hashes the expanded
command, not the declaration, so a declared but unreferenced ARG
invalidates nothing -- and script/lint passes "$(date +%s)-$$". The
PID is in that value because two lint runs land inside the same second
easily and a bare epoch would cache the second one.

Nothing inside an image build may shell out to docker. The main
Dockerfile's lint stage therefore invokes golangci-lint directly
instead of `make lint`, and its build stage runs `make test` and
`make fmt-check` instead of the `make check` aggregate, which reaches
script/lint. Those two remain `make` invocations rather than the bare
scripts because the Makefile's `export CGO_ENABLED = 0` only applies
to what it invokes, and today's `make check` gets it.

COPY --from=lint /usr/bin/golangci-lint is replaced by
COPY --from=lint /src/go.sum /dev/null. The copied binary was the only
edge forcing BuildKit to finish linting before the build stage starts;
dropping it without replacing the edge would have ended fail-fast
linting silently under a still-green build. That no-op copy is the
ordering edge canonical REPO_POLICIES.md prescribes. Nothing in the
build stage runs the linter any more, so the binary itself is not
wanted there, and ENV PATH=/home/builder/go/bin:$PATH goes with the
`go install` that justified it.

script/verify-linter-pin is retired -- deleted along with its README
entry -- because both of its subjects ceased to exist in this same
change: it compared a linter binary against GOLANGCI_LINT_VERSION in
script/bootstrap, and there is now neither a binary crossing between
stages nor a version pin in bootstrap. The drift it guarded has not
gone away, it has moved. The linter is still pinned twice, now as the
FROM line of Dockerfile.lint and the FROM line of the Dockerfile lint
stage, with nothing syncing them, which is exactly what #42 made a
build failure. Its replacement is one new script/verify-lint-image-pin
that compares those two references to each other and deliberately
restates neither pin: a hardcoded expected digest would be a third
copy and the same drift one file further out. It runs as a gate in
both files, so `make lint`, `make check` and `make docker` all catch
drift, and an unreadable reference is a hard failure rather than a
vacuous pass.

`golangci-lint config verify` is included per the ruling. The concern
about its unpinned live HTTPS schema fetch was measured rather than
assumed: under --network none the pinned binary both passes a valid
config and rejects an invalid one with the jsonschema error, so it
validates against a schema it embeds and linting needs no network
beyond pulling the image. The README states that rather than a
requirement that does not exist.

Verified. `make lint` green with every PATH directory containing a
golangci-lint removed and `command -v golangci-lint` empty. Two
consecutive script/lint runs on an untouched tree both executed the
linter, 27.7s and 28.7s in the lint step under distinct epochs with
the COPY layer CACHED above them. A planted unused variable failed
script/lint with that exact finding and failed `make docker` at the
lint stage with the build stage stopped before its COPY --from=lint,
then reverted clean. The drift guard fails on tag-only, digest-only
and unreadable-reference cases, naming both sides. `make check` green;
`make docker` green in 5m35s with all six gates executing and the test
gate reporting real coverage rather than a cached ok. In the builder
image with the Go test cache off, --user 0:0 still fails
TestScanHardlinkRunFailsTogether where the unprivileged user passes,
so the non-root quirk is intact.

# Lint-only image: this is how the linter runs, everywhere. The repo is
# COPYed into the pinned golangci-lint image and the linter runs as a
# build step, so a successful build IS a clean lint. golangci-lint is
# never installed on a host — one toolchain, pinned by digest, identical
# on a laptop and in CI — and this works even when the docker daemon is
# remote and bind mounts are impossible.
#
# script/lint builds this file. It is a separate image from the lint
# stage of the main Dockerfile because script/lint must not depend on
# the rest of that build; the two FROM lines are kept identical by
