Chore: Implement revive (#16200)

Since we do not like some of the default golint rules,
this commit proposes to use https://github.com/mgechev/revive.

And potential revive speed-up should't hurt :).

Right now, presented config (./conf/revive.toml) is permissive,
we might improve it over time however. Fixes for found revive
issues in the code are very limited so it wouldn't be large to review.

Also in this commit:

* Add annotations for makefile commands and declare phony targets

* Rename "gometalinter" script and CI command to "lint"
  since we are doing there a bit more then using gometalinter package

* Add Makefile rules to .editorconfig

* Documentation which mentioned "golint" replaced with revive

Fixes #16109
Ref #16160

 ## Linting and formatting
-We enforce strict `gofmt` formating and use some linters on our codebase. You can find the current list of linters at https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/master/scripts/gometalinter.sh#L23

-We don't enforce `golint` but we encourage it and we will test so the number of linting errors does not increase over time.
+We use [revive](https://github.com/mgechev/revive) as a go linter, and do enforce our [custom config](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/master/conf/revive.toml) for it.
 
 ## Testing
 We use GoConvey for BDD/scenario based testing. Which we think is useful for testing certain chain or interactions. Ex https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/master/pkg/services/auth/auth_token_test.go
