Research direction

Open the running-a-scroll-node guide linked in the issue and verify the Go version required to compile l2-geth. Update the documented requirement to the verified version, then confirm the guide no longer instructs users to use versions that fail compilation.

Description

Describe the bug

The current documentation says Go 1.20 is required, however currently exactly go 1.21 is required. Compilation fails both with 1.23 and 1.20.

I've spent few hours today trying to figure this out.

To Reproduce
  1. See https://docs.scroll.io/en/developers/guides/running-a-scroll-node/
  2. Try to compile it with 1.20, will fail with something like
# github.com/scroll-tech/go-ethereum/cmd/geth
link: github.com/fjl/memsize: invalid reference to runtime.stopTheWorld
util.go:46: exit status 1
exit status 1
make: *** [Makefile:15: nccc_geth] Error 1
URLs

Expected behavior

l2-geth compiles without errors
