This runs linting using the "arc lint" command of arcanist, which
notably gets run automatically as part of the arc diff workflow.
Changes:
- The major change is that arc lint reports, by default, only issues on
changed lines instead of changed files (--lintall changes that).
- JSHint is largely redundant with eslint and does not support some of
the new Javascript functionality that we are able to use in 0 A.D., such
as conditional chaining, thus it is removed (of course, users can still
run it manually).
- Eslint 7 is supported out of the box and updated to ES 2020
- cppcheck and eslint are optional - if the executable is not found
(e.g. in PATH), it will fallback to a 'dummy' PHP script that does
nothing. This has been tested on windows, mac and Debian (CI).
- The licence year linter now suggests replacement, and has been
rewritten as an arcanist linter.
- Add a JSON error linter.
The intention is to have non-intrusive external linting, and largely the
same text linting.
Coala has largely gone unmaintained in the past few years (more so than
arcanist anyways) and installing it on modern Python is convoluted.
