Add helpful targets via Makefile (#211)

## Motivation and Context
<!-- Why is this change needed? What problem does it solve? -->
The following PR:
* Adds a Makefile with the most common project-related commands
* Updates the CI workflow to leverage that (people testing locally will
use the same commands as the CI)
* Switches to using the official Golangci-lint action instead of
downloading it via curl
* Bumps the golangci version (supersedes #144)
* Fixes any formatting/linting issues found
* Updates the README to reference the new make targets
* Runs the schema validation scripts as part of the CI

**Next:**
* If you are okay I can file a follow up PR afterwards where I can tidy
up the CI workflows a bit, it feels there's some overlap.

## How Has This Been Tested?
<!-- Have you tested this in a real application? Which scenarios were
tested? -->
Locally by running the make targets

## Breaking Changes
<!-- Will users need to update their code or configurations? -->

## Types of changes
<!-- What types of changes does your code introduce? Put an `x` in all
the boxes that apply: -->
- [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
- [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to change)
- [ ] Documentation update

## Checklist
<!-- Go over all the following points, and put an `x` in all the boxes
that apply. -->
- [x] I have read the [MCP
Documentation](https://modelcontextprotocol.io)
- [x] My code follows the repository's style guidelines
- [x] New and existing tests pass locally
- [ ] I have added appropriate error handling
- [ ] I have added or updated documentation as needed

## Additional context
