Hash-verify the Go toolchain in the release workflow (closes #105)
check / check (pull_request) Failing after 1s

The release workflow installed Go via actions/setup-go, which pins the
action but not the toolchain tarball it downloads at runtime -- the
compiler that produces the published binaries was the last external
input in the release path verified against nothing in the repo, against
REPO_POLICIES.md's hash-pin rule.

New script/install-go, modelled on script/install-goreleaser, downloads
the exact go.dev archive for go.mod's `go` directive and refuses it
unless its sha256 matches a value committed in the script. release.yml
calls it instead of setup-go and sets GOTOOLCHAIN=local so that exact
compiler builds the release. The version is not duplicated: go.mod owns
it and install-go fails when its committed GO_VERSION disagrees, so
bumping Go edits go.mod, the checksum, and the Dockerfile golang digest
together.

* `script/install-go` — install the Go toolchain named by `go.mod`'s
`go` directive into `.tool/go` from a sha256-verified `go.dev`
archive, and put it on `PATH`. Idempotent. Called only by the release
workflow, which needs a host Go for `goreleaser` to shell out to;
nothing else on the release runner does. `actions/setup-go` is not
used because it verifies the downloaded toolchain against no value in
this repo. Bumping Go edits `go.mod`, the checksum in this script, and
the `Dockerfile` `golang` digest together.
* `script/release` — cross-compile and publish the release artifacts
with the pinned `goreleaser`. Refuses a `goreleaser` on `PATH` whose
version is not the pinned one, on the same reasoning as `script/lint`.
