fix(deps): update go toolchain directive to v1.27.3 (#1332)

Go 1.27.3 includes a crypto/x509 security fix that distrusts a set of intermediate certificates (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/82345), so release builds need the new toolchain.

+## Logging
+
+Log through `act/common/logging`; the linter rejects importing `log/slog` elsewhere.
+A job's logger comes from `common.Logger(ctx)`; code with no job uses the package functions
+(`logging.Infof`, `logging.With`). Both take printf-style messages, and `With("key", value)` adds
+fields.
+
+- The process-wide logger masks the secrets of every live task, the job logger masks its own.
+  Going around either leaks them.
+- The job logger's output can reach the job log workflow authors see, the process-wide logger's
+  stays on the runner host, so keep operator-only detail (host paths, internal addresses) off the
+  job logger.
+- Libraries that log through slog's global logger are forwarded to the process-wide one, so they
+  follow its level and masking too. Avoid dependencies that log through logrus, nothing forwards it.
+- Tests read what was logged with `logtest.NewLogger()`, or `logtest.SetDefault(t)` for the
+  package functions.

 ### Prerequisites
 
-Docker Engine Community version is required for docker mode. To install Docker CE, follow the official [install instructions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
+On the runner:
+
+- `git` 2.34.1 or newer on `PATH`, to clone reusable workflows, and actions whose host serves no archive of them.
+- `docker` or `podman` with `podman.socket` enabled, for docker mode, Docker actions and `docker://` steps. To install Docker CE, follow the official [install instructions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
+
+Where steps run, in the job image or on the runner in host mode:
+
+- `bash` or `sh` for `run` steps, `pwsh` or `powershell` on a Windows host.
+- `node` for JavaScript actions and `hashFiles()`.
+- `git` 2.34.1 or newer for [`builtin:checkout`](docs/builtin-actions.md).
+- `git-lfs` and `ssh` for `builtin:checkout`, only when its `lfs` or `ssh-key` input is used.
+
+Kubernetes mode needs [a few more tools](docs/kubernetes.md) in job images.
