Add first party linting support i.e. `tofu lint`

### OpenTofu Version ```shell N/A ``` ### The problem in your OpenTofu project No linting tools for OpenTofu. ### Attempted Solutions - Explored many different tools online - Checked `tflint` which has [indirectly stated they will not support opentofu](https://github.com/terraform-linters/tflint/issues/2037#issuecomment-2094738720) - Checked for style and quality enforcement from SAST tools, if it exists it's minimal ### Proposal I have two proposals: The first of which is full first party linting support using the OpenTofu binary package and running something like `tofu lint`, this will likely be very complicated as the knowledge around specific language specifications is as one in Slack put it *underspecified*. The benefits of this would be a massively increased user experience and ease of adoption for those seeking quality and style enforcement either in editor, or optionally during their plans and applies. There are many opinions about style, primitive usages, built in tofu function use cases, that we could all likely benefit from having some sort of static analysis as a quality gate for those things. The second alternative proposal is, we go back to the last commit of `tflint` before the dual license [LICENSE_BUSL](https://github.com/terraform-linters/tflint/blob/master/LICENSE-BUSL) was introduced and fork it, creating a fork labeled `tofulint` and take over the project to work on and add the relevant versioned changes that are required from 1.5 era up to the
