refactor: Makefile, update docs, revert epp build back to go 1.24

- split Makefile
  1. tools: include install tools, check tools, download dependency(gcc
     etc) and tokenizer. these will be download into "bin" folder than
     global path
  2. cluster: include k8s and ocp
  3. kind
- revert Go version back to 1.24 in Dockerfile.epp
- rename "openshift-base" to "kubernetes-base" to be clear for purpose
- uplift Go lint version to 2.1.6 to align with the same one set in
  Github Action
- rename make targets for better visibility, deprcating old ones
- add variables to be exported with python path, so CGO for
