In this commit, we replace the basic inline cleanup command in the release
workflow with the comprehensive cleanup-space action that was previously
only used in the main CI workflow. The previous release workflow cleanup
simply removed the hostedtoolcache directory, which freed only a few
gigabytes and proved insufficient for multi-platform release builds.
By switching to the cleanup-space action (now enhanced to free 20-25GB),
the release workflow will have substantially more disk space available
before beginning the build process. This should resolve the disk space
exhaustion issues that were occurring during the Windows ARM build phase,
which is one of the final platforms in the 15-platform build sequence.
In an attempt to fix the "out of disk space" build error during release
builds, we first disable using Golang caches (which can be quite large)
and then remove a bunch of pre-installed tools and their caches to
provide some additional disk storage.
Since we now have a scripted check that makes sure the Golang version is
synced throughout all files, it is important that the main version in
the Makefile is changed, then all other versions can be detected by that
script.
As usual, we keep with the last two Go versions, which means the last
year of Go release (they release every 6 months or so).
This change means we can now use the type params (generics) in the
project!
This updates the list of tags used for `release` builds in the release
documentation. `peersrpc`, `kvdb_postgres`, and `kvdb_etcd` are now
automatically included in `make release` or `make release-install`
builds.
With this commit we update the release template to download Roasbeef's
key from the git repository via GitHub.
We also update the key mentioned in the template to the new signing key.

The monitoring server still needs to be enabled using prometheus.enable,
so including this in the default build does not add an additional http
server unless the user opts in.
The golang build cache seems to only grow over time and is now causing
disk space issues on the release builder. Since the release build has to
build for targets that aren't built during other GH actions and our
releases are too far apart to be hitting the cache anyway we suspect the
cache doesn't actually help that much.
Removing it might mean the build takes a bit longer but at least won't
cause any problems with full virtual disks anymore.
Due to a misunderstanding of how the gpg command line options work, we
didn't actually create detached signatures because the --clear-sign
flag would overwrite that. We update our verification script to now only
download the detached signatures and verify them against the main
manifest file.
We also update the signing instructions.
To avoid leaking any sensitive information like Docker Hub credentials
because of compromised actions repositories, we use our own, vendored
actions for all steps that potentially touch sensitive information.
