[Bug 2080372] [NEW] SRU golang 1.23.1 to older releases

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli]

Public bug reported:

[ Impact ]

Our incoming WSL Pro Service is a go tool that will require for both
security reasons and new features usage Go 1.23.

We will have a single code base for 20.04, 22.04 and 24.04 LTSes. Note
that this SRU is only about 22.04 and 24.04 as 20.04 will be treated
separately.

[ Test Plan ]

1. Install golang 1.23
2. Run `go version` ouside of any workspace
   -> ensure go 1.23 is printed
3. Build wsl-pro-service with it (adjusting the PATH)
   -> ensure it builds and that tests pass

[ Where problems could occur ]

The go package is a new, per version, package. It doesn’t change any of
the default PATH and is opt-in for application.

So, problems will occur inside the package itself or for application
that are explicitely opting in, but not outside.

[ Other info ]

We are already building and testing special Pro for WSL images which are
using this go version and properties from this PPA:
