Backport dependency updates to release-2.5 (#4990)

* bump go.etcd.io/etcd/pkg 3.5.14

Signed-off-by: David Enyeart <[email protected]>

* bump golang.org/x/crypto v0.24.0

Note that golang.org/x/tools update broke gendoc with error:
panic: can't determine type sizes for compiler "" on GOARCH ""

It turns out that gendoc didn't need the problematic packages.NeedTypesInfo and therefore this option is now removed.

Bump actions/download-artifact to v4 (#4870)

download-artifact needs to be v4 because

They must be at the same level for release pipeline to work correctly.
