Sweep and adjust filesystem Stat/Lstat/EvalSymlinks calls in go 1.23 in branch library-development

[mauriciopoppe]

Context: kubernetes/kubernetes#129084

Go 1.23 changed stdlib behavior of filesystem calls Stat / Lstat / EvalSymlinks on Windows. This broke some kubelet handling of volumes on Windows, and possibly other use of those functions. For Kubernetes 1.32, the behavior was temporarily reverted via godebug switches in kubernetes/kubernetes#129083, but this is not a long-term solution. Libraries like k8s.io/mount-utils can be used by downstream consumers building with go 1.23 and get unintented behavior.

Even though this project hasn't been updated to use go 1.23 (still using go 1.20), it's possible that the project is built from source using a different go runtime. If the project is built with go 1.23+

• The go.mod file should have these entries 1.32.0-rc.0 kubelet fails to mount volumes from windows GCEPD CSI driver kubernetes/kubernetes#129080 (comment) OR
• The filesystem calls Stat / Lstat / EvalSymlinks should be analyzed in the CSI Proxy codebase to make sure that they're compatible with the go 1.23 changes and if needed adjust them to work properly.
