## Why this should be merged
Version increase across all `ava-labs` EVM-related code.
## How this works
Bump to 1.24.8 in both `go.mod` files + requisite version increase for
`golangci-lint`.
## How this was tested
Existing tests.

## Why this should be merged
Our old strategy of only cherry-picking on release branches made the
`main` branch incompatible with dependent repos.
## How this works
The goal of the old strategy was to avoid cherry-picking on the same
branch to which we would later merge the duplicated, upstream commit.
This can instead be achieved by tracking the cherry-picked commits and
reverting them as part of the geth sync. Since we already do this for
our own changes and a single cherry-pick (see #128), there's no need to
use the two approaches simultaneously.
This PR deletes the cherry-picking mechanism and removes the
release-branch test that enforced its proper usage. It will be followed
up by a series of PRs, one per cherry-pick that would have otherwise
been placed on release branches.
## How this was tested
n/a
- Use grep `-E` flag instead of `-P` flag so it works on all platforms
- Add `-S` flag to `git cherry-pick` since it doesn't always sign all commits after resolving conflicts
## Why this should be merged
Debugging release-branch test failures in CI but not locally.
## How this works
Logs `HEAD` before testing branch properties.
## How this was tested
NA
## Why this should be merged
Safer release process by enforcing invariants of `release/*` branches as
automated in #137 to fulfil #25.
## How this works
New test for `go_tooling` CI job.
If the PR target branch is `main` then only the `params.ReleaseType` is
checked. If the target is neither `main` nor a release branch then the
test is skipped. The checks performed on `release/*` branches are
described in the test.
## How this was tested
Locally against a dummy release branch with deliberate problems created
by (a) including this PR's changes in the final commit and (b) not
updating the libevm version.

## Why this should be merged
`memsize` blocks usage of Go 1.23. We'll be building with 1.23 via
`avalanchego` anyway (which doesn't transitively import `memsize`) so we
want to run tests with the correct version. It will also unblock #154.
## How this works
✂️
We already cherry-pick the upstream commit
(e4675771ed) that removes `memsize` when
on release branches so we instead do it ourselves and no longer
cherry-pick. To avoid conflicts at the next `geth` sync, this PR should
be reverted before performing the merge. See #128.
## How this was tested
Existing tests.
## Why this should be merged
A separately cherry-picked commit, the fix for `StateDB.Copy()`,
requires Go 1.23 for use of the `maps` package. This, however, breaks
`memsize`, which was later removed later from `geth` for the same
reason.
## How this works
All release branches will now cherry-pick ethereum/go-ethereum#30253.
## How this was tested
Updated list of cherry-picks applied to #142, which [passed
tests](https://github.com/ava-labs/libevm/actions/runs/13371460014/job/37340683594).
