Ref #3753
Motivation
Adding the govulncheck tool to the project CI will provides more visibility on vulnerabilities of the golang code.
Description
The govulncheck looks into the dependencies but also how they are used in the code. As a result, it has been activated for any change on not only in go.mod/go.sum files but also on any golang file (*.go) changed.
It is active on PRs and main/release branches changes.
For now I decided not to use the recently created github action as I plan to see if other security tools like gosec could be added.
