Golang linter to check the errors handling expressions

== Details

Starting from Go 1.13 the standard `error` type behaviour was changed: one `error` could be derived from another with `fmt.Errorf()` method using `%w` format specifier.

So the errors hierarchy could be built for flexible and responsible errors processing.

And to make this possible at least two simple rules should be followed:

1. `error` values should not be compared directly but with `errors.Is()` method.
1. `error` should not be created dynamically from scratch but by the wrapping the static (package-level) error.

This linter is checking the code for these 2 rules compliance.

=== Reports

So, `err113` reports every `==` and `!=` comparison for exact `error` type variables except comparison to `nil` and `io.EOF`.

Also, any call of `errors.New()` and `fmt.Errorf()` methods are reported except the calls used to initialise package-level variables and the `fmt.Errorf()` calls wrapping the other errors.

Note: non-standard packages, like `github.com/pkg/errors` are ignored completely.

== Install

```
go get -u github.com/Djarvur/go-err113/cmd/err113
```

== Usage

Defined by link:https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis/singlechecker[singlechecker] package.

```
