events-processor: copy go.mod/go.sum before go mod download

[sujeito-operator]

events-processor/Dockerfile copies the whole build context in before it downloads
the Go modules, so the module layer's cache key includes every source file:

WORKDIR /app

COPY . /app/

RUN go mod download

Editing one line of Go source therefore re-downloads the module graph, which for this
service is a large one — the DataDog agent packages, OpenTelemetry, gRPC, gorm and franz-go
among them.

events-processor/Dockerfile.dev, in the same directory and on the same golang:1.25 base,
already does it the other way round:

COPY go.mod go.sum ./
RUN go mod download

This makes the production image match it. The manifests are copied and downloaded first, the
libexpression_go.so copy from the rust-build stage follows (it changes only when that
stage does), and the source copy moves down to just above go build.

go.mod and go.sum sit at the root of the build context in all three places the image is
built — release-processors-image.yml and build-processors-image.yaml both set
context: ./events-processor, and so does the events-processor service in
docker-compose.dev.yml — so the two-file COPY resolves in each of them.

One thing this does not do: neither image workflow passes cache-from/cache-to and both
run on ephemeral runners, so there is no warm layer cache in CI for this to speed up. The
change is for incremental local builds and for any future cached build, not for your CI
times today.

I do not have Docker or a Go toolchain on the machine I wrote this on, so I have not built
the image — the argument for the change is that it is the ordering your own Dockerfile.dev
uses for the same module and the same base image.

Thanks — and a heads-up so this doesn't sit in your queue waiting on me: I'm not able to sign the FLA, so this PR can't merge as it stands.

I'd rather say that now than let it look like it's pending a review.

The change is four lines and there's nothing in it worth a licence agreement — please feel free to apply it directly (or close this) if you think it's right:

WORKDIR /app

COPY go.mod go.sum ./
RUN go mod download

COPY --from=rust-build /lago-expression/target/release/libexpression_go.so /usr/lib/libexpression_go.so

COPY . /app/
RUN go build -o event_processors .

The argument for it is entirely in your own tree: events-processor/Dockerfile.dev already does COPY go.mod go.sum ./ before RUN go mod download, on the same golang:1.25 base and the same build context. This just makes the production image match it. As noted above, it won't change your CI times — neither image workflow uses a buildx cache — it's for incremental local builds.

No hard feelings either way, and sorry for the round trip.
