chore(lint): enable gosec (#7792)

Enable "gosec" linter.

Exclude:

- All G115 (integer overflow) findings, to be fixed separately.

Add targeted gosec annotations for:

- non-crypto math/rand usage
- md5 used only for file change detection
- G114 ("net/http serve with no timeout settings"), to be fixed
  separately.

Other findings fixed.
