build(deps): Bump google.golang.org/grpc from 1.48.0 to 1.79.3

[dependabot]

Bumps google.golang.org/grpc from 1.48.0 to 1.79.3.

Release notes

Sourced from google.golang.org/grpc's releases.

Release 1.79.3

Security

• server: fix an authorization bypass where malformed :path headers (missing the leading slash) could bypass path-based restricted "deny" rules in interceptors like grpc/authz. Any request with a non-canonical path is now immediately rejected with an Unimplemented error. (#8981)

Release 1.79.2

Bug Fixes

• stats: Prevent redundant error logging in health/ORCA producers by skipping stats/tracing processing when no stats handler is configured. (grpc/grpc-go#8874)

Release 1.79.1

Bug Fixes

• grpc: Remove the -dev suffix from the User-Agent header. (grpc/grpc-go#8902)

Release 1.79.0

API Changes

• mem: Add experimental API SetDefaultBufferPool to change the default buffer pool. (#8806)
  • Special Thanks: @​vanja-p
• experimental/stats: Update MetricsRecorder to require embedding the new UnimplementedMetricsRecorder (a no-op struct) in all implementations for forward compatibility. (#8780)

Behavior Changes

• balancer/weightedtarget: Remove handling of Addresses and only handle Endpoints in resolver updates. (#8841)

New Features

• experimental/stats: Add support for asynchronous gauge metrics through the new AsyncMetricReporter and RegisterAsyncReporter APIs. (#8780)
• pickfirst: Add support for weighted random shuffling of endpoints, as described in gRFC A113.
  • This is enabled by default, and can be turned off using the environment variable GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_PF_WEIGHTED_SHUFFLING. (#8864)
• xds: Implement :authority rewriting, as specified in gRFC A81. (#8779)
• balancer/randomsubsetting: Implement the random_subsetting LB policy, as specified in gRFC A68. (#8650)
  • Special Thanks: @​marek-szews

Bug Fixes

• credentials/tls: Fix a bug where the port was not stripped from the authority override before validation. (#8726)
  • Special Thanks: @​Atul1710
• xds/priority: Fix a bug causing delayed failover to lower-priority clusters when a higher-priority cluster is stuck in CONNECTING state. (#8813)
• health: Fix a bug where health checks failed for clients using legacy compression options (WithDecompressor or RPCDecompressor). (#8765)
  • Special Thanks: @​sanki92
• transport: Fix an issue where the HTTP/2 server could skip header size checks when terminating a stream early. (#8769)
  • Special Thanks: @​joybestourous
• server: Propagate status detail headers, if available, when terminating a stream during request header processing. (#8754)
  • Special Thanks: @​joybestourous

Performance Improvements

• credentials/alts: Optimize read buffer alignment to reduce copies. (#8791)
• mem: Optimize pooling and creation of buffer objects. (#8784)
• transport: Reduce slice re-allocations by reserving slice capacity. (#8797)

Note

High Risk
High risk because it raises the module go version from 1.17 to 1.24 and upgrades google.golang.org/grpc across many major/minor releases, which can change build compatibility and runtime behavior in networking code.

Overview
Upgrades the project’s Go toolchain and core networking deps. The module go version is bumped from 1.17 to 1.24.0, and google.golang.org/grpc is updated from v1.48.0 to v1.79.3.

This also refreshes a set of direct/indirect dependencies to match the newer toolchain and gRPC stack (notably golang.org/x/*, google.golang.org/protobuf, github.com/google/uuid, github.com/google/go-cmp) and updates go.sum accordingly, plus adjusts the retract directive formatting in go.mod.
