RTECO-945 - Fix Go version mismatch in Alpine APK CI

Alpine package repos only ship Go <=1.23 (even on Alpine 3.21), but
go.mod requires go 1.26.3, causing 'invalid go version' parse errors.

Fix: do not install Go via 'apk add go'. Instead:
- Record the host GOROOT after install-go-with-cache (new step)
- Mount that directory into the Alpine chroot via jirutka/setup-alpine
  volumes input so the same Go 1.26 binary is available inside Alpine
- Export GOROOT/GOPATH/GOCACHE into the alpine.sh test step and
  prepend GOROOT/bin to PATH so 'go' resolves to the host toolchain
