Bump Development/Build Minimum Go Version to 1.17

[bflad]

Terraform CLI and Provider Versions

N/A (main branch development)

Use Cases or Problem Statement

Following the Go support policy and given the ecosystem availability and stability of the latest Go minor version, it's time to upgrade. This will ensure that this project can use recent improvements to the Go runtime, standard library functionality, and continue to receive security updates

Proposal

• Run the following commands to upgrade the Go module files and remove deprecated syntax such as //+build:

go mod edit -go=1.17
go mod tidy
go fix

• Ensure any GitHub Actions workflows (.github/workflows/*.yml) use 1.18 in place of any 1.17 and 1.17 in place of any 1.16 or earlier
• Ensure the README or any Contributing documentation notes the Go 1.17 expected minimum
• (Not applicable to all projects) Ensure the .go-version is at least 1.17 or later
• Enable the tenv linter in .golangci.yml and remediate any issues.

I have reviewed all the items in this proposal, and concluded they have all been addressed in the recent changes applied to this provider.

The only addition I'd make here, and I somehow feel it was implied, is that we should at least be building against the next stable version of Go.

So, if 1.17 is what we build and release against today, we should also build 1.18 in our CI for future-proofing.

Will provide a PR shortly.
