Things done

Update GitLab Runner from 17.2.0 to 17.10.1.

I'm not sure what the rationale is for the ongoing switch attempt from the buildGoModules default phases to upstream Make targets (#392089), but I assume there was some upstream change that appeared to make buildGoModule harder to use. The upstream Make files have a lot of questionable assumptions and impurities, so opting to stay with buildGoModules default phases here.

Note that this also removes all of the upstream helper binaries that are only intended to be used in their Make targets (e.g. check-test-directives, pull-images-for-tests, update-feature-flags-docs).
