'interface{}' can be replaced with 'any'

Reports type declarations that use interface{} and can be simplified by using any.

any is an alias for interface{}. Using any makes generic code and API easier to read.

Example:

type Box struct {
	Value interface{}
}

func Identity(x interface{}) interface{} { return x }

func Map() map[string]interface{} { return nil }

To simplify the code, use the Replace interface{} by any quick-fix.

After the quick-fix is applied:

type Box struct {
	Value any
}

func Identity(x any) any { return x }

func Map() map[string]any { return nil }
