Remove dead code: splitLines loop, unused methods (gt-2g130)

- polecat.go: Remove unreachable first loop in splitLines (was using filepath.SplitList incorrectly)
- townlog/logger.go: Remove unused Event.JSON() method and json import
- lock/lock.go: Remove unused ErrStaleLock error variable
- refinery/manager.go: Remove unused getTestCommand() method

Note: witness.StatePaused is actually used by cmd/witness.go, not dead code.
