[feature]: Ensure Golang Version 1.22.3 for make release Command to Reproduce Release Manifest

[ffranr]

Description:

The overall goal is to be able to reproduce a release manifest file. In order to reproduce the digest hashes in the manifest file of a given release, the correct Golang version must be used when building the binaries. Therefore, the make release command needs to assert the correct Golang version. If the Golang version is incorrect, the command should exit with an error message.

Considerations and Modifications:

• The makefile already includes GO_VERSION = 1.22.3.
• Pass the GO_VERSION to ./scripts/release.sh build-release in make release.
• Modify ./scripts/release.sh to ensure that the correct version of Golang is used.
• If the required Golang version isn't passed into ./scripts/release.sh, the script should skip the version check.
• The linter should ensure that the golang version passed into ./scripts/release.sh build-release in make release is consistent with the version used in .github/workflows/release.yaml (this check is already in place and does not require modifications as part of this issue).

Acceptance Criteria:

• Running make release should use Golang version 1.22.3 (current go version stipulated in the Makefile).
• If the Golang version is not 1.22.3, the script should exit with an error message.
• If the required Golang version isn't passed, the script should skip the version check.
• The release manifest file can be reproduced with identical digest hashes by using the correct Golang version.

Useful snippets:

Modification to Makefile

release:
	@$(call print, "Releasing tapd and tapcli binaries.")
	$(VERSION_CHECK)
	./scripts/release.sh build-release "$(VERSION_TAG)" "$(BUILD_SYSTEM)" "$(RELEASE_TAGS)" "$(RELEASE_LDFLAGS)" "$(GO_VERSION)"

Modification to ./scripts/release.sh

#!/bin/bash

REQUIRED_GO_VERSION=$6

if [ -n "$REQUIRED_GO_VERSION" ]; then
  # Check the current Golang version
  CURRENT_GO_VERSION=$(go version | grep -oP 'go\K[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+')

  if [ "$CURRENT_GO_VERSION" != "$REQUIRED_GO_VERSION" ]; then
    echo "Error: Golang version $CURRENT_GO_VERSION found, but $REQUIRED_GO_VERSION is required."
    exit 1
  fi
fi

# Proceed with the rest of the script

While we're at it, maybe also check for unclean working directory?

Something like:

if output=$(git status --porcelain) && [ -z "$output" ]; then
  # Working directory clean
else 
  # Uncommitted changes
fi

You can have Go download and manage certain versions: https://go.dev/doc/manage-install

There's also this: https://go.dev/doc/toolchain, which lets you add an env variable GOTOOLCHAIN.

Re coveralls:

• itest support: Add test coverage for integration tests lightningnetwork/lnd#7364
• need to remove the parallel here: https://github.com/lightninglabs/taproot-assets/blob/main/.github/workflows/main.yaml#L230-L235

Thanks, that's good to know. I'm keen on adding GOTOOLCHAIN.
