Severity

• Yes, I understand that the GitHub action repository is not the repository of golangci-lint itself.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.

Your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently all lint actions show with a severity of error in GitHub Actions. Using the now deprecated github-actions output format was able to differentiate severity levels but this does not appear to be possible with the colored-line-output format.

Describe the solution you'd like.

1. A new format or amendment to colored-line-output that includes severity and an appropriate problem matcher to extract the severity would work

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Using the github-actions output format, but that seems to be deprecated so I'm not sure how long that would work for.

Additional context.

I noticed the golangci-lint-action problem matcher pattern is different than the go one, and unless the golangci-lint problem matcher is enabled with problem-matchers: true the output doesn't seem to be picked up at all. If the rationale for using colored-line-output with its limitations was that it maintained compatibility with the default go problem pattern matcher then that's seemingly already not the case.
