* update go version to 1.18 for api and sdk, go mod tidy
* removes ioutil usage everywhere which was deprecated in go1.16 in favour of io and os packages. Also introduces a lint rule which forbids use of ioutil going forward.

Previously we believe it was necessary for all code that required ports
to use freeport to prevent conflicts.
https://github.com/dnephin/freeport-test shows that it is actually save
to use port 0 (`127.0.0.1:0`) as long as it is passed directly to
`net.Listen`, and the listener holds the port for as long as it is
needed.
This works because freeport explicitly avoids the ephemeral port range,
and port 0 always uses that range. As you can see from the test output
of https://github.com/dnephin/freeport-test, the two systems never use
overlapping ports.
This commit converts all uses of freeport that were being passed
directly to a net.Listen to use port 0 instead. This allows us to remove
a bit of wrapping we had around httptest, in a couple places.
