[DEPENDENCY] Update module dependencies to latest versions

[GLobyNew]

I don't know if its okay to do. But I looked up the "OpenSSF Scorecard report" of this project: https://securityscorecards.dev/viewer/?uri=github.com/gopasspw/gopass

And was surprised to see, that gopass is affected to 4 known vulnerabilities.
Turns out they all can be fixed by just upgrading all modules using two commands:

go get -u ./...     
go mod tidy

So basically after this merge all four vulnerabilities will be fixed and I wonder how often should deps be upgraded? Or every project has it's own policy about it?
And what policy does gopass follow?

Thanks!

Code Review

This pull request updates the dependencies of the gopass project to their latest versions. This is a good practice for maintaining the security and stability of the project. The pull request description mentions that this update fixes four known vulnerabilities, which is a significant benefit. However, it also raises the question of how often dependencies should be upgraded and what policy gopass follows regarding dependency management. Addressing this question would improve the project's long-term maintainability.

Summary of Findings

• Dependency Upgrade Frequency: The pull request description asks about the frequency of dependency upgrades and the project's policy on this matter. This is an important question that should be addressed to ensure consistent and timely updates.
• Missing Documentation: The pull request lacks documentation regarding the dependency update process and policy. Adding this documentation would help maintainers and contributors understand how to manage dependencies in the future.

Merge Readiness

The pull request updates dependencies and fixes known vulnerabilities, which is a positive step. However, the question of dependency upgrade frequency and the lack of documentation on the dependency management policy should be addressed before merging. I am unable to directly approve this pull request, and recommend that others review and approve this code before merging. Given the presence of medium severity issues, I recommend that the pull request not be merged until those are addressed.

[GLobyNew]

Oh, I see other pull requests in which age should not be upgraded and deps bot helps with dependencies already. But I still wonder which packages could be upgraded, depbot really selective about what should be upgraded or not.
I'll close this pull request and will consider to make PRs for every single package separately.

[dominikschulz]

@GLobyNew Thank you. But you don't need to bother, we have automation to update dependencies during releases.

It's ok to pull in updates outside of releases, but that's only best effort.
