Add markers to linter tests, move linter imports

Test markers can be used to easily (de-)select tests, and colcon exposes
mechanisms to do so. Linters are a category of tests that are commonly
called out.

Additionally, if we move the imports for some of our single-purpose
tests into the test function, we can avoid installing the linter
dependencies entirely. This is a common case in platform packaging, where
linter errors are not actionable and the dependencies are not typically
installed.
