Subject: Stop using `golint` so golang.org/x/lint can be removed
The `golint` tool is deprecated and no longer actively maintained by the Go
community. Remove the `lint` target from the `Makefile` and its inclusion in the
`all` target so `golint` is no longer used at all.
Removing `golint` simplifies the build process, reduces the project's dependency
footprint, and aligns the project with current Go best practices. The vendored
`golang.org/x/lint` directory can be safely removed with this change.
