** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  new upstream release; usual vendored dependency updates per Go MIR policy (vendor/ directory is automatically generated by go mod vendor based on go.mod).
  
  Targeted releases: noble, jammy
  
  [Test plan]
  * Test suite passes
  
  * Deploy Azure CVM and TPM FDE
  * Upgrade to this new package and reboot
  * Boot should be successful
  * Double check bios_measurements_log to ensure that the newly update shim was used for boot (https://github.com/canonical/tcglog-parser/tree/master/tcglog-dump can be used to extract checksum of the shim binary used at boot and compared to the one shipped in nullboot)
  
  * CPC - build new image with nullboot preinstalled, and attempt to
  register and boot such an images as first time.
  
  We have set block-proposed to allow testing in {noble,jammy}-proposed to
  be carried out before migration to  release pockets.
  
  [Where problems could occur]
  Resealing of Azure CVM machines could fail and they would need to be unlocked with a recovery key.
  
  NOTE: this bug follows precedent set by
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nullboot/+bug/2061754
+ 
+ [Additional information]
+ * Added the ability to fetch shim from previous nullboot to allow rebuilds against old shim on shim update (to avoid breakage if e-c-i wasnt updated)
+ * Set disable CGo envvar because nullboot does not use any Cgo things.
