With Go 1.21, use clear in set.Clear()

This addresses the edge cases where a set couldn't be fully cleared,
and will be more efficient in cases where the loop isn't optimised
away.

To allow this to be tested in CI, configure tests with Go 1.20 and
1.21 (since 1.21 has been released, 1.19 has reached EOL).
