Fix Go command PATH issue in serena container

Remove explicit /usr/bin from PATH configuration which was redundant and
potentially causing command resolution issues. The base image already
includes /usr/bin in PATH, so we only need to append ${GOPATH}/bin.

+### PATH Configuration Fix (2026-01-18)
+Fixed an issue where the `go` command was not found in the container's PATH during runtime:
+- **Problem**: Line 40 of the Dockerfile explicitly set `/usr/bin` in the PATH, which was redundant and potentially caused PATH resolution issues
+- **Solution**: Changed `ENV PATH="${GOPATH}/bin:/usr/bin:${PATH}"` to `ENV PATH="${GOPATH}/bin:${PATH}"`
+- **Impact**: Simplifies PATH configuration by relying on the base image's default PATH, which already includes `/usr/bin`
+- **Testing**: Smoke tests should now successfully execute `go version` within the container

 ## Build Issues Encountered
