Bump Golang version

[matiasinsaurralde]

Changes in this PR

Bumps Golang version to latest stable one: 1.21.4

Also ran go mod tidy.

Why are you making these changes?

Just keeping it up to date and I also think there can be many benefits, for example I explored the new slices package which is recommended and more performant than sort methods in a few scenarios, etc.

Are any changes breaking? (IMPORTANT)

No - tests are fine too

My only doubt here comes around c5a01d0, in theory it's properly using the weightedrand method to set a random source however tests fail. Would appreciate any feedback on it.

@carreter if we're bumping the version then we should probably also bump the go versions that CI/CD runners use. Doing it now before merge.

[carreter]

LGTM except for single comment. murmur3 probably should be in the indirect dependencies section.

[carreter]

Why was this moved to be a direct dependency?

[TimothyStiles]

I'm not really sure @carreter. It's used only in the mash package similar to how blake3 is only used in the seqhash package. Both are direct dependencies here.

[TimothyStiles]

Yeah had to double check but murmur3 should have been a direct dependency to begin with @carreter. Good to merge?

[TimothyStiles]

Looks good to me!
