Update go.mod versions

## Context
The `go` version used in the project begins to be old *(using 1.16 while we are at the 1.24)* and dependencies haven't been updated for a while too.

I propose to update to 1.22, like this it still usable by many without requesting them to update there project.

## Objectives

- Update the `go` version to 1.22 and bump dependencies to the latest versions available for 1.22.
- Fix breaking changes

> Note: It will help to close the following PRs : #680 , #667 , #568, #677, #657 , #625 , #612

Start with go.mod: inspect the current Go directive and dependency versions before evaluating the move to Go 1.22. Review the compatibility impact of the dependency bumps and breaking changes, using PRs #680, #667, #568, #677, #657, #625, and #612 as related context. Done means go.mod targets Go 1.22, dependencies are current for that version, and the project remains compatible.
