chore(deps): update dependencies and Dockerfile base image

Update all dependencies to latest versions including:
- k8s.io/* v0.34.1 -> v0.35.0
- openshift/* to December 2024 releases
- prometheus/*, opentelemetry, golang.org/x/*

Change Dockerfile base image from golang:1.24-alpine to golang:alpine
for automatic Go version updates.
