Patch release lintr 3.1.2

[MichaelChirico]

Triggered by #2527, this release will be a subset of the near-complete 3.2.0 release that's a bit stalled on dev time at the moment. It will focus on fixing the CRAN failure, setting me as the maintainer, and not missing an opportunity to ship precision+recall fixes to existing linters.

Tracking in branch patch-3.1.2, which is branched from tag v3.1.1 and will not ever be merged to main.

Prepare for release:

• 3.1.2 milestone
• Re-read and refine the entire NEWS for the release
• Ensure backport_linter() covers all released R versions
• Check URLs: urlchecker::url_check() or tools:::check_url_db(tools:::url_db_from_package_sources("."))
• Run the R-CMD-check GHA on all released R versions on Ubuntu, Mac, and Windows. See Check which versions of R touch the while() loop in get_source_expressions() #2501 for reference.
• devtools::check(remote = TRUE, manual = TRUE)
• devtools::check_win_devel() or devtools::check_win_devel(email = "your@email")
• rhub::check_for_cran() or rhub::check_for_cran(email = "your@email")
• Run revdepcheck::revdep_check().

Submit to CRAN:

• usethis::use_version('patch')
• devtools::submit_cran()
• Approve email
