Consider configuration-controllable version

[tmc]

Your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It'd be great if the .golangci.yaml (et. al) files could specify the golangci-lint version number and have it resolve missing versions for users. This would make it easier for users to have identical local and CI results with low overhead.

Describe the solution you'd like.

some means of specifying the golangci-lint version in configuration.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

I think this is a duplicate of #3912, right?

It's been discussed before and my memory says that it's been out of scope for golangci-lint so far. So shameless self promotion but that's why I made gclv as a proof of concept to see how this could work. It allows you to specify the version of golangci-lint in .golangci.yml and use gclv --run as an alias for golangci-lint --run but ensuring the specified version is used.

Feel free to close this if you agree it's a duplicate.
