Upgrading Go Version

Notes on upgrading Go version.

Example PR: https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/79329

The main areas that need to change during the upgrade are:

• go.mod
• go.work
• scripts/drone/variables.star
• Makefile
• Dockerfile

Then, run go mod tidy and go work sync. Also run make drone so changes to .star files are reflected and drone.yml is updated.

Additional files to change

• Take a look in .github/workflows folder for what go version is being used there in various workflows.
• Make sure to create a PR with the corresponding changes in grafana/grafana-enterprise repository.
