Run all linters per package. It allows unloading package data when it's
processed. It dramatically reduces memory (and CPU because of GC) usage.

* update staticcheck
Don't fork staticcheck: use the upstream version.
Remove unneeded SSA loading.
* Cache go/analysis facts
Don't load unneeded packages for go/analysis.
Repeated run of go/analysis linters now 10x faster
(2s vs 20s on this repo) than before.
Don't perform extra go env calls in go/packages.
Load only needed go env vars in golangci-lint.
Stay in sync by enabled analyzers in go vet: remove nilness and
atomicalign analyzers, add errorsas analyzer.
Don't build SSA for govet.
Standalone govet runs 25% faster than before. All runs can be 5-10% faster
than before.

Treat Go source files as plain text files by misspell: it allows detecting
issues in strings, variable names, etc. Also, it's the default mode of
a standalone misspell tool.
Also, implement richer and more stable auto-fix of misspell issues:
now it can fix multiple issues in one line.
Also do following improvements:
- show proper sublinter name for megacheck sublinters
- refactor and make more simple and robust megacheck
merging/optimizing
- improve handling of unknown linter names in //nolint directives
- minimize diff of our megacheck version from the upstream,
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/29612 blocks usage of the upstream
version
- support the new `stylecheck` linter
- improve tests coverage for megacheck and nolint related cases
- update and use upstream versions of unparam and interfacer instead of forked
ones
- don't use golangci/tools repo anymore
- fix newly found issues after updating linters
Also should be noted that megacheck works much faster and consumes less
memory in the newest release, therefore golangci-lint works noticeably
faster and consumes less memory for large repos.

Use go/packages instead of x/tools/loader: it allows to work
with go modules and speedups loading of packages with the help
of build cache.
A lot of linters became "fast": they are enabled by --fast now and
work in 1-2 seconds. Only unparam, interfacer and megacheck
are "slow" linters now.
Average project is analyzed 20-40% faster than before if all linters are
enabled! If we enable all linters except unparam, interfacer and
megacheck analysis is 10-20x faster!
Add support for the exclude and ignore flags of errcheck.
Note that, this commit depends on golangci/errcheck#1. We need
to merge it first, update vendors and only then merge this one.
1. Rename in a backward compatible way
2. Remove gosec default exclude list because gosec is already disabled
by default.
3. Warn about unmatched linter names in //nolint directives
4. Process linter names in //nolint directives in upper case
5. Disable gosec for golangci-lint in .golangci.yml
Although the FAQ does eventually mention that
--new-from-rev=origin/master is the right way, --help does not and
using --new in CI is a terrible pitfall.
Make --help point users to -new-from-rev=HEAD~ for CI setups.
Also use HEAD~ instead of origin/master, since HEAD~ is more
universally applicable, e.g. if golangci-lint is ran against a release
branch.
