Go releases

As newer versions of the language runtime, libraries and tools get released, these will get incorporated into xgo too as extensions layers to the base cross compilation image (only Go 1.3 and above will be supported).

You can select which Go release to work with through the -go command line flag to xgo and if the specific release was already integrated, it will automatically be retrieved and installed.

xgo -go 1.16.1 github.com/project-iris/iris
...

Additionally, a few wildcard release strings are also supported:

• latest will use the latest Go release (this is the default)
• 1.16.x will use the latest point release of a specific Go version
