Report #16583

[bug\_fix] package io/ioutil is not in GOROOT

Replace all imports of \`io/ioutil\` with the equivalent functions in the \`io\` and \`os\` packages \(e.g., \`ioutil.ReadFile\` becomes \`os.ReadFile\`, \`ioutil.TempDir\` becomes \`os.MkdirTemp\`\).

Journey Context:
A developer upgrades their Go version to 1.16 or later and finds that their previously working build now fails with 'package io/ioutil is not in GOROOT'. They might initially think their Go installation is corrupted or their GOROOT is misconfigured, leading them down a rabbit hole of reinstalling Go or checking environment variables. They then discover that in Go 1.16, \`io/ioutil\` was officially deprecated and its functions were moved into \`io\` and \`os\`. The package was completely removed in later versions. The fix is not to fix the GOROOT, but to update the codebase to use the new standard library functions.
