Issue Description

Since updating our go runtime to 1.18, we have changed our container image tags to golang:1.18-alpine. In addition, we have adopted using the ubi8/go-toolset image as the base for our builder stage due to the restriction of our deployment environment, devfile/api#1083.

Our update lifecycle, however, is not compatible with the release lifecycle of ubi8/go-toolset and therefore should be revisited for changing this base image. We would like to investigate the possibility and feasibility of mirroring golang from Docker Hub to use as our base instead.

The use of devfile-samples/image-mirror which runs this process on all defined Docker Hub images nightly can achieve this.

Might be useful if we split the issue in two issues (each acceptance criteria should be a separate issue)

We could, it would make the issues very small but it would allow us to mirror the image without necessarily making all the reference changes right away.
