Linting is too slow

[paul-rodriguez]

Side note, but I don't understand why on earth doing a bit of static checking on a small project like Pebble would take 5 minutes! That's ~300 billion clock cycles. Do we know which of the static checkers is the culprit / why it's slow?

Just a note to others that currently this PR will fix this, when merged.

@flotter How will that PR fix the slowness? Isn't that just bumping up the golangci timeout to 5 minutes (from the default of 1 minute)?

Going to close this. Linting locally takes <1s (even with a clean golangci-lint cache), and it's taking about 20s in CI now. Which is still way longer than expected, but I don't thin it's worth looking into further at this point.
