Fix golangci-lint configuration: disable type assertion checks and fieldalignment

Type assertions in compare.go and starform.go are safe because they follow
type switches that verify the types. Disabling check-type-assertions removes
false positives.

Field alignment optimization is not critical for this project and generates
noise on test structs.
