Unable to build with Go 1.22

[erikgb]

While working on https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/hierarchical-namespaces/pull/285, I notice that this project cannot be built with Go 1.22, so I had to install Go 1.21 to make any progress.

I think a serious overhaul of dependencies in this project is required to fix this issue. That will also close a lot of reported vulnerabilities.
