Refactor six non-workflow large functions via targeted helper extraction

[Copilot]

This PR addresses the non-workflow largefunc findings identified by lint-monster by splitting the six flagged functions/literals into smaller, cohesive helpers without changing behavior. Scope is limited to the reported parser, CLI entrypoint, and linter-registry/analyzer paths.

• CLI compile/run wiring cleanup (cmd/gh-aw/main.go)

  • Replaced oversized compile RunE literal with named orchestration helpers:
    • runCompileCommand
    • readCompileFlags / resolveCompileGhAwRef
    • buildCompileConfig
  • Split oversized init setup flow into focused setup units:
    • root command setup, usage rendering, custom help wiring
    • command creation/grouping/registration
    • flag and completion registration
  • Preserved existing flag surface and command behavior while reducing function size hotspots.

• Git fallback clone flow split (pkg/parser/remote_download_file.go)

  • Broke downloadFileViaGitClone into phase-specific helpers:
    • input validation, temp dir creation, repo URL construction
    • SHA clone+checkout path vs branch/tag clone path
    • validated file read from clone root
  • Kept existing fallback semantics and error text shape.

• Analyzer logic decomposition (pkg/linters/stringbytesroundtrip/stringbytesroundtrip.go)

  • Refactored analyzeRoundTrip into discrete helpers for:
    • call-shape extraction
    • skip filtering (generated / nolint)
    • type extraction
    • diagnostic emission per pattern (string([]byte(s)) vs []byte(string(b)))
  • Diagnostic messages and detection semantics remain unchanged.

• Registry All simplification (pkg/linters/registry.go)

  • Moved analyzer list literal into package-level allAnalyzers.
  • All() now returns a defensive copy via append([]*analysis.Analyzer(nil), allAnalyzers...) to preserve caller isolation while eliminating oversized function body.

funcAll() []*analysis.Analyzer {
returnappend([]*analysis.Analyzer(nil), allAnalyzers...)
}

Mechanical lint-monster function-splitting cleanup. Draft, no CI signal yet. Low urgency — safe to defer until undrafted and CI runs.

@copilot resolve the merge conflicts on this branch.

Resolved in commit 0d7b6bc. The only true conflict was in cmd/gh-aw/main.go where both branches modified the compileCmd.RunE — main had reverted to the inline approach (with supporting changes in pkg/cli/). I accepted main's version of that file. The refactoring of the other three files (pkg/parser/remote_download_file.go, pkg/linters/registry.go, pkg/linters/stringbytesroundtrip/stringbytesroundtrip.go) was preserved through the merge since main hadn't touched them. All unit tests pass.
