When running the `make fmt` target in the repository the command can fail due to a mismatch of versions between the go language and the goimports dependency.

    4.16.z

    1.checkout release-4.16 branch
    2.run `make fmt`
    

INFO[2024-10-01T14:41:15Z] make fmt make[1]: Entering directory '/go/src/github.com/openshift/cluster-cloud-controller-manager-operator' hack/goimports.sh go: downloading golang.org/x/tools v0.25.0 go: golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports@latest: golang.org/x/tools@v0.25.0 requires go >= 1.22.0 (running go 1.21.11; GOTOOLCHAIN=local) 

    successful completion of `make fmt`

    our goimports.sh script file reference `goimports@latest` which means that this problem will most likely affect older branches as well. we will need to set a specific version of the goimports package for those branches.

given that the CCCMO includes golangci-lint, and uses it for a test, we should include goimports through golangci-lint which will solve this problem without needing special versions of goimports.
