The example images build from the Go the manifest pins

Four example Dockerfiles named golang:1.25 while go.mod requires 1.26;
the control plane's image takes GO_BASE from the manifest and these did
not, so a build that could not fetch a newer toolchain failed at go mod
download (found running the lab through the mesh).
