Use toolchain of Go 1.22

Fabien Catteau requested to merge go.mod-go-1.22 into master

What does this MR do?

Change the go directive of go.mod so that the version of the Go toolchain matches the version of Go.

See https://go.dev/doc/toolchain

Starting in Go 1.21, the Go distribution consists of a go command and a bundled Go toolchain, which is the standard library as well as the compiler, assembler, and other tools. The go command can use its bundled Go toolchain as well as other versions that it finds in the local PATH or downloads as needed.

The choice of Go toolchain being used depends on the GOTOOLCHAIN environment setting and the go and toolchain lines in the main module’s go.mod file or the current workspace’s go.work file. As you move between different main modules and workspaces, the toolchain version being used can vary, just as module dependency versions do.

NOTE: We might also want to upgrade the Go toolchain that comes with the gemnasium image. However, this is not directly related. Also, based on the above, it seems that this is only cache since the toolchain can downloaded at runtime. But then the image might no longer run offline.

What are the relevant issue numbers?

None

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
