Add autofix for gci

[barweiss]

Your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We were using the GCI linter to enforce import order. However, with the 1.44.2 update, it seems like auto-fix support was dropped.
This change makes it harder to enforce import order as the developer has to manually fix the code.

Describe the solution you'd like.

It seems like GCI supports write mode. Using it for auto fix could be possible.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Removing the GCI linter as it is currently unusable, or downgrading golangci-lint.

Additional context.

Yea, sorry, I missed the closed issue.
I see that you closed it due to GCI not supporting autofix, however, it seems like the "write" command does fix the import order.

Anyway, I may be out of line here, but even though GCI is not a responsibility of the golangci-lint team, this change affects everyone that uses the GCI linter and relied on the autofix behavior.
I would suggest downgrading GCI specifically if possible until this issue is sorted (perhaps allowing the newer version to be used or evaded using the configuration).
