Fully statically linked SwiftLint binary

A small annoyance of using SwiftLint has always been its reliance on SourceKit at runtime, especially on Linux.

The just-released version 0.61.0 therefore bundles static Linux binaries for both Intel and ARM which don't require any runtime dependencies.

The only catch is that rules relying on SourceKit won't run. There are 13 of them left, most notably custom rules. But we are in the process of replacing them, too, to cease their dynamic nature.

Go give it a try if a static Linux binary is of interest to you.
