CloudX open-sources setup-go alternative to cut Golang CI times by 69%

CloudX built and released cloudx-io/setup-go, a drop-in replacement for GitHub's official actions/setup-go, after finding that the official action caused parallel jobs to interfere with each other and repeatedly pull stale cache data. In backtests on CloudX's monorepo running lint, test, and build jobs in parallel, the new action eliminated an estimated 86% of unnecessary work performed by the default setup, cutting test job runtimes by 69%.
