As usual, we keep with the last two Go versions, which means the last
year of Go release (they release every 6 months or so).
This change means we can now use the type params (generics) in the
project!
This updates the list of tags used for `release` builds in the release
documentation. `peersrpc`, `kvdb_postgres`, and `kvdb_etcd` are now
automatically included in `make release` or `make release-install`
builds.
With this commit we update the release template to download Roasbeef's
key from the git repository via GitHub.
We also update the key mentioned in the template to the new signing key.

The monitoring server still needs to be enabled using prometheus.enable,
so including this in the default build does not add an additional http
server unless the user opts in.
The golang build cache seems to only grow over time and is now causing
disk space issues on the release builder. Since the release build has to
build for targets that aren't built during other GH actions and our
releases are too far apart to be hitting the cache anyway we suspect the
cache doesn't actually help that much.
Removing it might mean the build takes a bit longer but at least won't
cause any problems with full virtual disks anymore.
Due to a misunderstanding of how the gpg command line options work, we
didn't actually create detached signatures because the --clear-sign
flag would overwrite that. We update our verification script to now only
download the detached signatures and verify them against the main
manifest file.
We also update the signing instructions.
To avoid leaking any sensitive information like Docker Hub credentials
because of compromised actions repositories, we use our own, vendored
actions for all steps that potentially touch sensitive information.
This commit adds another GitHub workflow that is activated for each
pushed tag. The release binaries are compiled from that tag for all
supported architectures. A new release in the GitHub repository is then
drafted for the tag and the finished binary packages are uploaded to
that release.
