Refactor golangci-lint configuration and improve error handling

- Updated .golangci.yml to enable default linters and refine suppression rules, enhancing code quality visibility.
- Improved error handling in cmd/root.go by explicitly discarding low-value error messages during fatal exits for consistency with errcheck posture.
- Added best-effort error handling in various locations across the codebase, ensuring that non-critical errors are logged without affecting overall functionality.
- Introduced a new writeMetricsText function to streamline metrics output, improving code clarity and maintainability.
