Update: Upgrade Go to 1.23 and streamline CI/CD workflow

This commit updates the Go version used in the CI/CD pipeline from 1.22 to 1.23, which should bring performance improvements and new features. Additionally, the workflow has been streamlined by reorganizing the job structure, renaming jobs for clarity, and optimizing the artifact handling and packaging process. The release job now depends on the new 'package' job, ensuring that binaries are properly packaged before release creation.
