all: set Go language version to Go 1.21

Go 1.21 is the oldest currently supported version of Go, see
https://go.dev/doc/devel/release#policy

All supported Go versions (1.21 and 1.22) support
forward compatibility and toolchain management, see
https://go.dev/blog/toolchain

People stuck on much older versions of Go should
stick to older versions of Go Protobuf, too.
