build: fix Go 1.27 compatibility

Upgrade the custom golangci-lint from v2.4.0 to v2.13.2 because the older
version reports false type-checking errors for generic mutex code when it
runs with Go 1.27. Refresh the tools module dependencies, account for the
renamed exhaustruct_v5 linter, and disable the deprecated gomodguard while
leaving gomodguard_v2 active.

Apply Go 1.27's gofmt output to the PSBT test's composite-literal return.

Lower the consecutive-SCID zlib test boundary from 30,794 to 30,792. Go
1.27 changed compress/flate output, making 30,793 SCIDs exceed the
65,535-byte Lightning message limit while 30,792 still fit.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine build-and-test maintenance patch to make the LND codebase compile and pass tests with the upcoming Go 1.27 release. It upgrades the project's custom linter tool, refreshes many indirect tool dependencies, adjusts one test's formatting, and lowers a test constant that checks how many compressed channel IDs fit in a Lightning message. There is no direct security fix here; it is a compatibility and test-hygiene change.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal build/test maintenance commit. Review the updated tool dependencies for supply-chain hygiene if desired, but no security response is indicated.
