Report #13158

[bug\_fix] package io/ioutil is not in GOROOT \(/usr/local/go/src/io/ioutil\)

Replace \`io/ioutil\` imports with their modern equivalents: use \`io\` for \`ReadAll\`, \`os\` for \`ReadFile\`, \`WriteFile\`, \`TempDir\`, and \`TempFile\`, and \`io/fs\` for \`ReadDir\`.

Journey Context:
A developer copies an older code snippet or upgrades a legacy project to a modern Go version \(1.16\+\). The build abruptly fails, claiming \`ioutil\` is not in the GOROOT. The developer checks their Go installation path and environment variables, suspecting a corrupted installation or a broken PATH. They might even try reinstalling Go. However, the real issue is that \`io/ioutil\` was deprecated in Go 1.16 and completely removed in Go 1.22. The functions were moved to the \`io\` and \`os\` packages where they logically belong. Updating the imports and function calls works because it maps directly to the standard library's new, permanent structure, resolving the missing package error.
