make staticcheckfails with the error

make staticcheck

Steps to reproduce

Go version: 1.20 (not 1.18)

go version 
# go1.20.5 darwin/amd64
printenv | grep '^GO'
# GOROOT=/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.20.5/libexec
# GOPATH=/Users/akranga/hub/go

make clean
go mod vendor
go mod tidy 
# wait...
make statictest

See error from above

Expected behavior

Static check should be executed

Side note

It looks like the error has been when upgraded to Go version v1.20. Suggesting further to use Go version v1.20.*

Similar issue discussed on the off-site, and resolution documented in go-tools/issues/1203

I have looked into the issue. My assumption is the following:

• Originally the issue is related to statickcheck version 2021.1.2
• It doesn't matter which go version - 1.18 or 1.20
• the root cause is some old dependencies compiled with an old version of Go and stored in a local cache

Based on this assumption possible solution for this issue could be

go clean -modcache
make staticcheck

I'm going to bump statickcheck to the latest stable version instead of commit hash and will update Makefile goals.

IMHO go clean -modcache should go into the Makefile as we use it as the driver for all ops with hubctl
