Codespell CI job is broken

[mwasilew2]

As per: #532 (comment) , there was a new version of codespell pip package released on 14.06.2023 . CI for prometheus/procfs currently fails as a result. TBD if any other prometheus projects are impacted

[mwasilew2]

I found the following projects that are using codespell in their CI:

• https://github.com/prometheus/procfs (this project)
• https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter
• https://github.com/prometheus/mysqld_exporter

A number of projects in the prometheus-community. Here are a few examples:

• https://github.com/prometheus-community/systemd_exporter
• https://github.com/prometheus-community/bind_exporter
• https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter
• https://github.com/prometheus-community/ipmi_exporter
• https://github.com/prometheus-community/smartctl_exporter

I'll focus on testing and fixing projects in prometheus and will see if I get a chance to look into the ones in the prometheus-community

+1 on Ben's approach in: #535

Yea, I think we used codespell in a few places that have non-go code. But I think we could mostly switch to golangci-lint.

@SuperQ if #535 works as expected I'm happy to drive a similar change for node_exporter and mysqld_exporter

[mwasilew2]

@SuperQ I was looking at switching node_exporter to golangci-lint misspell and found out that the misspell project has been abandoned for at least 5 years. Do we even want to switch the other projects from codespell to misspell?

It looks like golanci is maintaining a fork. They use this fork. Should be fine to use.
