Summary of Changes

Hello @ziggie1984, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

I've updated the project's Go version to 1.23.12. This change is crucial for addressing a potential SQL bug and ensures that our development and deployment environments are aligned with the latest stable Go release. The update involved modifying various configuration files, Docker images, and documentation to reflect the new Go version across the codebase.

Highlights

• Go Version Update: The primary change in this pull request is the update of the Go programming language version from 1.23.10 to 1.23.12. This update is specifically intended to address and fix a potential SQL bug.
• Configuration Updates: To ensure consistency across the project, I've updated various configuration files, including .golangci.yml, Makefile, and the go.mod files within several modules (e.g., healthcheck, kvdb, sqldb, tlv, tools, tor), to reflect the new Go version.
• Dockerfile Updates: All relevant Dockerfiles (Dockerfile, dev.Dockerfile, docker/btcd/Dockerfile, lnrpc/Dockerfile, make/builder.Dockerfile, tools/Dockerfile) and the lnrpc/gen_protos_docker.sh script have been updated to utilize the golang:1.23.12 base image, ensuring that all containerized environments and build processes use the latest Go version.
• Documentation Update: The docs/INSTALL.md file has been updated to reflect the new minimum Go version (1.23.12) and includes the corresponding wget commands and SHA256 sums for installation. Additionally, the release notes (docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.19.3.md) have been updated to explicitly mention this Go version bump under the 'Code Health' section.

Code Review

This pull request updates the Go version from 1.23.10 to 1.23.12 across the entire project, including build scripts, Dockerfiles, CI configurations, and module files. Release notes have also been added to reflect this change.

While the version bump is applied consistently, I've found a critical issue in the installation documentation (docs/INSTALL.md). The SHA256 checksums for the new Go version have not been updated for the linux-amd64 and linux-armv6l distributions. This will cause the verification step to fail for users and poses a security risk. Please update the checksums to their correct values.
