chore(lint): standardize lint scripts, decouple from test, add Lint workflow [DX-9770]

Make cli-plugins consistent with cli-core (separate test and lint):

- Decouple: remove the `posttest` lint hooks from all packages so `npm test`
  runs tests only (npm's posttest was auto-running lint after every test).
- Uniform lint command `eslint "src/**/*.ts"` across all 18 TS packages
  (was three variants: `eslint .`, `eslint . --ext .ts`, `eslint src/**/*.ts`).
- Add a `lint` script to the 5 TS packages that lacked one (bootstrap,
  cli-cm-regex-validate, migration, seed, variants) + a flat config for variants.
- Drop `--fix` from cli-tsgen's lint script so lint checks rather than mutates.
- Add .github/workflows/lint.yml (mirrors cli-core's) as a dedicated PR gate
  running `pnpm run lint`.

All 18 TS packages now lint with 0 errors (warnings only; cleanup tracked in
DX-9771). No product source changed. The two JS-only packages (bulk-publish,
migrate-rte) still need a JS lint setup and are left for the test-runner
normalization follow-up.
