User Story:

As a dev, I want to be able to evaluate alternatives to `golint` which is deprecated and frozen [1]. This alternative should be well supported and in constant development and has to be able to run in CI for presubmit jobs

so that I can achieve

• find bugs and performance issues, offers simplifications, and enforces style rules during development.

Acceptance Criteria:

Linting alternatives are considered and one or more are chosen to be integrated into our development tooling (`openshift/hack/*`).

(optional) Out of Scope:

Engineering Details:

• The deprecation announcement [1] mentions 2 alternatives, `staticcheck` and `go-vet`, but neither is a drop-in replacement for golint
• [1]https://github.com/golang/go/issues/38968

This does not require a design proposal.
This does not require a feature gate.
