low hanging fruit to reduce build artifact size. adds
-tags nomsgpackwhich was added in the gin framework many years ago (https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin/pull/2703/changes) to exclude msgpack functionality and its dependencies. we don't use msgpack, so it should be safe to exclude.this reduces the binary size between 6-9MB depending on build type, build times are also reduced by about 5s (23s -> 18s on my system - results may vary):
i also checked for other build tags but didn't see any.
