Proposed Changes

This PR updates Go version used in this repo to 1.24.7 following the repo's go version policy

Additional Info

golangci-lint v1.64 is the last version in the v1 lineage. It has moved on to v2 now. v1.64 does not support Go 1.25 so we'll have to upgrade to v2 before we move on to Go 1.25 ourselves.

Looks good to me.

I updated CONTRIBUTING.md a bit more with 9d582b3

But lets wait to merge until you get approval from @rjan90 or @rvagg as they may be aware of any other concerns we need to pay attention to.

Looks good to me! Will start running the main branch with go updated on my node tomorrow after the network upgrade
