Update dependencies

[nineinchnick]

This includes migrating to the new plugin toolkit and a major version update of Grafana.

Note that this version is still vulnerable to https://grafana.com/security/security-advisories/cve-2024-8986/. To avoid that this dependency should be updated to at least v0.250.0.

This PR stalled, because I was waiting for a new secret used to sign the artifact during releases. The new secret is required after updating some of the tooling used here. It's already set in the repository, so I can get back to this now. I'll refresh all dependencies again.

Awesome, thanks 🙏

@nineinchnick Is there anything I can do to help get this merged soon?

Sorry for the delay, but I can only work on this in my spare time. I can try getting it done this week, but I can't commit to any specific dates.

This update is significant, because it switches over to a new plugin SDK. I wanted to get this done before upgrading to a new Grafana major version. I see I left the CI green, so I only need to check if the release workflow will work, which signs the artifacts.

I'd then open another PR with more updates, this is where you could help - maybe you can create a new PR based on this branch.

Ah sorry, my bad for making you feel rushed. I had thought looking after this plugin was part of your duties in Starburst.

Alright fab 👍 Sounds quite promising.

Awesome thanks, yes I'll have a go at this on Friday.

I've had a go and created #269. It updates go.mod with updated dependencies, but also it updates go 1.18 to go 1.21, which matches the version used by the Grafana plugin SDK and also the version used in the GitHub action as updated by this branch. There were also a couple of minor code changes needed.
