Quentin McGaw 4a78989d9d chore: do not use sentinel errors when unneeded
- main reason being it's a burden to always define sentinel errors at global scope, wrap them with `%w` instead of using a string directly
- only use sentinel errors when it has to be checked using `errors.Is`
- replace all usage of these sentinel errors in `fmt.Errorf` with direct strings that were in the sentinel error
- exclude the sentinel error definition requirement from .golangci.yml
- update unit tests to use ContainersError instead of ErrorIs so it stays as a "not a change detector test" without requiring a sentinel error
