Release notes: https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.24
> Go modules can now track executable dependencies using tool directives
in go.mod. This removes the need for the previous workaround of adding
tools as blank imports to a file conventionally named “tools.go”. The go
tool command can now run these tools in addition to tools shipped with
the Go distribution. For more information see [the
documentation](https://tip.golang.org/doc/modules/managing-dependencies#tools).
The new -tool flag for go get causes a tool directive to be added to the
current module for named packages in addition to adding require
directives.
I ran:
```
go get -tool github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4/server/goose
go get -tool github.com/kevinburke/go-bindata
go get -tool github.com/quasilyte/go-ruleguard/dsl
go rm tools.go
go mod tidy
```
`make deps-go` was failing in CI because of the removal of `tools.go`
(my guess is that `go get .` was a nop because there was nothing in `.`
to download).
So, taking the chance of removing `deps-go` because `go` will download
packages during the build process. AFAICS there's no need to download
everything beforehand.
Done as part of oncall improvements.
`vars.GO_VERSION` can only be changed by admins and it's not public
(Fleet devs don't know the current value of the variable), this approach
uses the version specified in our `go.mod` file.
#20571
## Summary of changes
We have a few moving parts in fleetctl land (`fleetdm/wix` is used to
build `msi`s and `fleetdm/bomutils` is used to build `pkg`s, and
`fleetdm/fleetctl` can be used to build packages using docker, no need
for fleetctl executable):
```mermaid
graph LR
fleetctl_exec[fleetctl<br>executable];
wix_image[fleetdm/wix<br>docker image];
bomutils_image[fleetdm/bomutils<br>docker image];
fleetctl_image[fleetdm/fleetctl<br>docker image];
fleetctl_exec -- uses --> wix_image;
fleetctl_image -- COPY dependencies<br>FROM --> wix_image;
fleetctl_exec -- uses --> bomutils_image;
fleetctl_image -- COPY dependencies<br>FROM --> bomutils_image;
```
So, we'll need to update the three images: `fleetdm/bomutils`,
`fleetdm/wix` & `fleetdm/fleetctl`.
- `tools/bomutils-docker/Dockerfile`, `tools/wix-docker/Dockerfile` and
`tools/fleetctl-docker/Dockerfile`: Updating the base image to fix the
CRITICAL vulnerabilities.
- Modified existing+unused
`.github/workflows/build-and-check-fleetctl-docker-and-deps.yml` to run
every day to check for CRITICAL vulnerabilities in `fleetdm/wix`,
`fleetdm/bomutils` and `fleetdm/fleetctl`.
- `.github/workflows/goreleaser-fleetctl-docker-deps.yaml`:
`fleetdm/bomutils` and `fleetdm/wix` were pushed manually a few years
ago (most likely by Zach), so I've added a new action to release them
when we have changes to release (like now). It will basically release
`fleetctl/bomutils` and `fleetdm/wix` when pushing a tag of the form
`fleetctl-docker-deps-*` (we'll need to protect such tag prefix).
- Changes in `.github/workflows/test-native-tooling-packaging.yml` to
build `fleetdm/bomutils` and `fleetdm/wix` for `fleetdm/fleetctl` to use
them instead of the ones in docker hub.

for more information.
- [x] Manual QA for all new/changed functionality
For #13715, this:
- Upgrades the Go version to `1.21.1`, infrastructure changes are
addressed separately at https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/pull/13878
- Upgrades the linter version, as the current version doesn't work well
after the Go upgrade
- Fixes new linting errors (we now get errors for memory aliasing in
loops! 🎉 )
After this is merged people will need to:
1. Update their Go version. I use `gvm` and I did it like:
```
$ gvm install go1.21.1
$ gvm use go1.21.1 --default
```
2. Update the local version of `golangci-lint`:
```
$ go install github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@v1.54.2
```
3. (optional) depending on your setup, you might need to re-install some
packages, for example:
```
# goimports to automatically import libraries
$ go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports@latest
# gopls for the language server
$ go install golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest
# etc...
```
At the moment, in Github Actions, when a job has `uses:
actions/setup-go` it uses a specific commit from that repo.
In that commit, it used `set-output` somewhere, which is now deprecated
and will be disabled within the next month or so.
See here for more information:
https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/
This PR changes every instance where `actions/setup-go@...` was used and
replaces it with release `v2.1.3`. [From the release
notes](https://github.com/actions/setup-go/releases/tag/v2.1.3):
> Updated communication with runner to use environment files rather then
workflow commands
Which is what the above Github blog recommends doing.

Addationally, the latest version of this Github Action is
[`v4.0.0`](https://github.com/actions/setup-go/releases/tag/v4.0.0),
which you may want to update to in the future.

We don't have a `matrix.go-version` defined, so the task was using
`go1.17.13` as the default.
This explicitly sets the version to `go1.19.1`, I didn't use a `matrix`
definition because at least for now, we only want to run this test using a
single Go version.
Since I was there, I also updated test-native-tooling-packaging.yml to
use `go1.19.1` too.
Related to #6364 and #6363, this:
- Adds a new Docker image, `fleetdm/fleetctl` equipped with all necessary dependencies to build Fleet-osquery binaries for all platforms
- Modifies the package generation logic to special case this scenario via an environment variable `FLEETCTL_NATIVE_TOOLING`
- Adds a new GitHub workflow to test this
There are more details in the README, but part of the special-casing logic is in place to output the binaries to a folder named `build` when they are run with `FLEETCTL_NATIVE_TOOLING`, this is so we can persist the binary generated by the docker container via a bind mount:
```bash
docker run -v "$(pwd):/build" fleetdm/fleetctl package --type=msi
```
To test this changeset, I have generated packages for all platforms, both via the new Docker image and via the classic `fleetctl package`.
