This pull request systematically updates the Go language versions utilized throughout the project's build, testing, and deployment infrastructure. The primary goal is to align the project with recent Go releases, ensuring that all components benefit from the latest performance improvements, security patches, and language features. This involves updating the Go version specified in CI workflows, Docker images, and Go module definitions, as well as updating installation instructions in the documentation.

Highlights

• Go Version Update for CI and Docker: The Go version used across various CI configurations, Dockerfiles, and build scripts has been updated from 1.24.6 to 1.25.2 to leverage the latest stable Go release for development and deployment environments.
• Go Module Version Pinning: All go.mod files within the project and its submodules have been updated to explicitly pin the required Go version to 1.24.8. This ensures consistency in module resolution and build environments.
• Documentation Update: The docs/INSTALL.md file has been revised to reflect the new minimum Go version of 1.24.8 and includes updated download links and SHA256 checksums for installing Go on Linux (x86-64 and ARMv6).

Code Review

This pull request updates the Go version used for CI and release builds to 1.25.2, and pins the Go module version to 1.24.8. The changes are consistent and applied correctly across all relevant files, including Dockerfiles, Makefiles, CI configuration, and module files. I've added a couple of suggestions to improve the installation instructions in docs/INSTALL.md to make the checksum verification more robust for users.
