Running test suite locally does not work on M1 Mac

Problem

After running bin/fetch-golangci-lint and bin/run-tests on an M1 Mac (or other arm64 system), contributors receive the following error:

deleting tmp/lint

This is due to an interaction with golangci-lint and go-critic on older versions of golangci-lint.
See this issue for more information.

Note, this issue has been documented for arm64 systems with certain versions of Go, but doesn't seem to occur on amd64 architectures. However, it doesn't appear to be an issue for arm64 anymore since v1.49.0.

Steps to reproduce

1. On an M1 mac or other arm64 machine, run the current bin/fetch-golangci-lint script
2. Try running the tests with bin/run-tests
3. See error above
