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

Upgrade the Go toolchain to version 1.16 or later, as the io/fs package was introduced in Go 1.16.

Journey Context:
A developer copies code from a recent tutorial that uses the io/fs package to walk a filesystem. They run go build and get 'package io/fs is not in GOROOT'. They immediately check their environment variables, thinking GOROOT is misconfigured. They spend time reinstalling Go, only to hit the same error. They search the error message and discover that io/fs is a relatively new addition to the standard library. They check their Go version with 'go version' and realize they are running Go 1.15. The fix is simply upgrading their Go installation to 1.16\+, as the package literally didn't exist in their current toolchain.
