Upgrade nonbreaking packages and go version from 1.21 to 1.23

[johnnyCake1]

What has been done:

• Upgraded go version from 1.21 to 1.23 (including the docker image version)
• Upgraded nonbreaking packages:
  • To check if an upgrade is breaking or not, I ran go get <package>@latest for every package separately and built and ran the project and made sure everything is working same as before
  • Additionally executed existing tests for every package upgrade
• This also fixes govulncheck that is currently failing in CI/CD because github.com/labstack/echo/v4 was upgraded
• Packages that can be (and should be) upgraded or replaced, but they have breaking changes:
  • github.com/ShkrutDenis/go-migrations: v1.2.1 -> v1.2.10 --> very old
  • gorm.io/driver/mysql: 1.5.2 -> v1.5.7
  • gorm.io/gorm: v1.25.5 -> v1.25.12

Notes:

• Migrations code and tests should be updated to adopt newer versions of packages that are listed above
