documentation for golangci-lint for go project CI
What does this MR do?
[golangci-lint](https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint) is a configurable
and fast metalinter and is the suggested alternative to the now-deprecated
[gometalinter](https://github.com/alecthomas/gometalinter)
This example CI job will lint only the changes to a new merge request,
allowing projects to switch to `golangci-lint` or adopt stricter linting
rules without breaking CI builds.
For non merge request runs, a fallback revision can be set to lint
changes since that revision, allowing linting on CI runs on the
default project branch.
