Use Craft Application's Linter Service
Metadata
Current evaluation
LinterService bounty closed without implementation; craft-application#907 delivered the shared service, and Charmcraft migration was retriaged as canonical/charmcraft#2546.
Resolution: closed superseded
Reason: The maintainer closed the bounty without completing Charmcraft's migration. The prerequisite framework merged in craft-application#907 (commit a76bcaa6), while canonical/charmcraft#2546 became the open replacement tracking adoption of LinterService.

Issue body
### What needs to get done
Migrate to the Linter Service as implemented at https://github.com/canonical/craft-application/issues/782
#### Acceptance criteria
* All linters are implementations of the Craft Application class
* The lint command uses the LinterService
* Any other uses of linters use the LinterService
### Why it needs to get done
Snapcraft and Charmcraft lint snaps and charms respectively at the end of the lifecycle.
These linters don’t share common code and don’t have a similar UX. Additionally, there isn’t a way to add linters to other *craft apps without significant code duplication.
