Use lowest go directive possible

[kaovilai]

Stop bumping go directive unless necessitated by other dependencies. This line increases minimum version for all importers

Please instead use go toolchain directive if a certain version tooling is required to build (ie. for CVEs requiring go cli upgrade). This line only affect the current repos, and other importers can use lower version as long as the version meets go directive minimum.

5548c42 bumped to go1.23.1

This caused other repos to also bump minimum go directive.

As long as kubernetes/kubernertes can remain language compatible with go 1.23.0 (the current lowest supported go version, N-1 from latest 1.24.0) in their current supported releases, I have no reason to believe any repos would require higher than .0 go directive.

@MartinForReal how does #8376 fixes this issue?

if anything it makes it worse. I do not understand, why this project has to bump golang version to follow a unreleased version of k8s - kubernetes/kubernetes#129688
