Update the Linter's Check and CheckCRL methods to use a pointer receiver, to match the fact that New returns a pointer to a Linter, and that the linter itself contains various large pointer/interface fields.
Update Observer's Start() method to use a pointer receiver, to match the fact that obs_conf.MakeObserver returns a pointer.
Update pcks11helper's MockCtx methods to use pointer receivers, to match the fact that NewMock returns a pointer.
Update the VA's getAddrs method to use a pointer receiver, to match every other method on the VA.
Do not update various MarshalJSON and UnmarshalJSON methods to match each other, since the expectation there is that all UnmarshalJSON methods use pointer receivers while all MarshalJSON methods use value receivers.
