Description of the problem

I was using golangci-lint @1.64.8 and everything worked good.
After upgraded to 2.0.0, It reports following error:

golangci-lint run --fix
Error: can't load config: typecheck is not a linter, it cannot be enabled or disabled
Failed executing command with error: can't load config: typecheck is not a linter, it cannot be enabled or disabled

You should migrate your configuration: you are using configuration v1 with golangci-lint v2

I recommend using the migration command: https://golangci-lint.run/product/migration-guide/#command-migrate
