* update go version to 1.18 for api and sdk, go mod tidy
* removes ioutil usage everywhere which was deprecated in go1.16 in favour of io and os packages. Also introduces a lint rule which forbids use of ioutil going forward.

This should cut down on test flakiness.
Problems handled:
- If you had enough parallel test cases running, the former circular
approach to handling the port block could hand out the same port to
multiple cases before they each had a chance to bind them, leading to
one of the two tests to fail.
- The freeport library would allocate out of the ephemeral port range.
This has been corrected for Linux (which should cover CI).
- The library now waits until a formerly-in-use port is verified to be
free before putting it back into circulation.
