The config file format changed. The tool golangci-lint migrate
was used to migrate the old config. However old comments and also
the structure of the disabled linters was preserved.
Moreover the new v2 version introduced new linters, we disable
3 of them because they are very noise and we do not really want
to check for them: funcorder, noinlineerr, embeddedstructfieldcheck.
If CGO is enabled, Go tries to use the gold linker (-fuse-ld=gold), which is
not installed. CGO was disabled, because it is not needed for golangci-lint.
Add this file both to the main LND directory so that devs can use it for
local linter runs and also add it to the `tools` directory so that the
docker environment used to run the linter in CI has access to it. A
custom linter binary can be built via `golangci-lint custom`. This will
pull in and register all the plugins listed in the new config file when
building the new binary. The new binary can then be run using
`custom-gcl run`.
Bump all build go versions to v1.21.0
Bump the minimum build package version to v1.19.0
Debian "buster" is not longer supported. Security updates have been
discontinued since June 30th 2022. We will build using the latest
version, "bookworm".
As usual, we keep with the last two Go versions, which means the last
year of Go release (they release every 6 months or so).
This change means we can now use the type params (generics) in the
project!
