Vendored unix module fails to build due to Go version too old in go.mod

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

I was just trying to update the guest-agent package in openSUSE and the build fails with:

[   18s] + go build '-ldflags=-s -w -X main.version=20230426.00' -mod=vendor
[   18s] # golang.org/x/sys/unix
[   18s] ../vendor/golang.org/x/sys/unix/syscall.go:83:16: unsafe.Slice requires go1.17 or later (-lang was set to go1.16; check go.mod)
[   18s] ../vendor/golang.org/x/sys/unix/syscall_linux.go:2271:9: unsafe.Slice requires go1.17 or later (-lang was set to go1.16; check go.mod)

[   23s] error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Pw9TCI (%build)

due to the Go version in go.mod being too old.

Please bump the Go version in go.mod to 1.17 or later.

Thank you for filing this issue!
The Go version has been updated to 1.17

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Thanks! Could you tag a new release so I can use this version for packaging?

[vorakl]

Sure, thanks for pointing this out!
It used to add release tags automatically for every new commit on the main branch.
I'll take a look why it didn't happen this time.

[vorakl]

A new release tag is available: 20230510.00

Thanks a lot! Could osconfig be fixed as well? (see: GoogleCloudPlatform/osconfig#473)

[vorakl]

I can't help with that, there are other guys. I'll ping them.
