Jordan Montgomery c97a0e2363 Fix Windows lint issues and enable linting on Windows (#28704)
For https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/9943

This will help us avoid issues like this where the log message never
worked right:
https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/pull/28296#discussion_r2047505191

Most of the changes are no-op type changes like removing unneeded
typecast or disabling gosec on reviewed lines of code

# Checklist for submitter

If some of the following don't apply, delete the relevant line.

<!-- Note that API documentation changes are now addressed by the
product design team. -->

- [x] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL
injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements)
- [x] Added/updated automated tests
- [x] A detailed QA plan exists on the associated ticket (if it isn't
there, work with the product group's QA engineer to add it)
- [x] Manual QA for all new/changed functionality
- For Orbit and Fleet Desktop changes:
- [x] Make sure fleetd is compatible with the latest released version of
Fleet (see [Must
rule](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/fleetd-development-and-release-strategy.md)).
- [x] Orbit runs on macOS, Linux and Windows. Check if the orbit
feature/bugfix should only apply to one platform (`runtime.GOOS`).
- [x] Manual QA must be performed in the three main OSs, macOS, Windows
and Linux.
- [x] Auto-update manual QA, from released version of component to new
version (see [tools/tuf/test](../tools/tuf/test/README.md)).

Github Actions

Fleet uses Github Actions for continuous integration (CI). This document describes best practices and at patterns for writing and maintaining Fleet's Github Actions workflows.

Bash

By default, Github Actions sets the shell to bash -e for linux and MacOS runners. To help write safer bash scripts in run jobs and avoid common issues, override the default by adding the following to the workflow file

defaults:
  run:
    # fail-fast using bash -eo pipefail. See https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#exit-codes-and-error-action-preference
    shell: bash

By specifying the default shell to bash, some extra flags are set. The option pipefail changes the behaviour when using the pipe | operator such that if any command in a pipeline fails, that commands return code will be used a the return code for the whole pipeline. Consider the following example in test-go.yaml

    - name: Run Go Tests
      run: |
        # omitted ...
          make test-go 2>&1 | tee /tmp/gotest.log

If the pipefail option was not set, this job would always succeed because tee would always return success. This is not the intended behavior. Instead, we want the job to fail if make test-go fails.

Concurrency

Github Action runners are limited. If a lot of workflows are queued, they will wait in pending until a runner becomes available. This has caused issue in the past where workflows take an excessively long time to start. To help with this issue, use the following in workflows

# This allows a subsequently queued workflow run to interrupt previous runs
concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.head_ref || github.run_id}}
  cancel-in-progress: true

When a workflow is triggered via a pull request, it will cancel previous running workflows for that pull request. This is especially useful when changes are pushed to a pull request frequently. Manually triggered workflows, workflows that run on a schedule, and workflows triggered by pushes to main are unaffected.
