Why?
When the version of Go in the go directive of go.mod is different from the
version in the toolchain directive there is a cache conflict which causes errors
on cache extraction.
What?
Force go to always use the local toolchain (i.e. the one the one that shipped
with the go command being run) via setting the GOTOOLCHAIN environment variable
to
local
.This means we'll have to make sure our GHA workflows uses the intended Go
version.
