removed even setup keys and onboarding from light version of getaccount

* Add local lint setup with pre-push hook to catch issues early

Developers can now catch lint issues before pushing, reducing CI failures
and iteration time. The setup uses golangci-lint locally with the same
configuration as CI.

Setup:
- Run `make setup-hooks` once after cloning
- Pre-push hook automatically lints changed files (~90s)
- Use `make lint` to manually check changed files
- Use `make lint-all` to run full CI-equivalent lint

The Makefile auto-installs golangci-lint to ./bin/ using go install to
match the Go version in go.mod, avoiding version compatibility issues.
