This PR upgrades our CI images and fixes some affected tests.
- upgrade go-machine-image to premade latest ubuntu LTS (ubuntu-2004:202111-02)
- eliminate go-machine-recent-image (no longer necessary)
- manage GOPATH in GNUMakefile (see https://discuss.circleci.com/t/gopath-is-set-to-multiple-directories/7174)
- fix tcp dial error check (message seems to be OS specific)
- spot check values measured instead of specifically 'RSS' (rss no longer reported in cgroups v2)
- use safe MkdirTemp for generating tmpfiles
NOT applied: (too flakey)
- eliminate setting GOMAXPROCS=1 (build tools were also affected by this setting)
- upgrade resource type for all imanges to large (2C -> 4C)
