4.4.25: Static Linux Builds, Memory-Aware Batching, and Build Stability
### Static Linux Builds
- Added `CGO_CFLAGS` environment variable to the release workflow for consistent static linking on Linux, ensuring portable, self-contained executables.
- Updated `go.work.sum` with the new dependency `golang.org/x/net v0.38.0`.
- Removed obsolete logs archive file from the distribution.
### Memory-Aware Batching (Introduced in 4.4.23, now stable)
- Users can now control batching behavior using `--batch-mem` to specify memory limits (e.g., `128K`, `64M`, `1G`), enabling adaptive batching based on sequence data size.
- Batching now respects both byte and record count limits, flushing batches when either threshold is exceeded.
- Conservative memory estimation for sequences (`BioSequence.MemorySize()`) and explicit garbage collection after large batch discards improve resource predictability.
- Default constraints remain non-breaking: minimum 1, maximum 2000 records per batch with a default memory limit of 128 MB.
### Build System Improvements
- Updated Go toolchain to 1.26.1 and bumped key dependencies for security and performance.
- Fixed Makefile quoting for `LDFLAGS` to safely handle paths containing spaces.
- Enhanced build failure handling: error logs are now displayed before cleanup, aiding diagnostics.
- The install script now correctly configures `GOROOT`, `GOPATH`, and `GOTOOLCHAIN`, creates the GOPATH directory, and shows a progress bar during downloads.
