[Bug 1964270] [NEW] Feature Freeze Exception: Update golang-defaults to 1.18

[William Wilson]

Public bug reported:

This change is necessary because we always update to the latest Go
version before each release.

Go's source does not provide a changelog, but the changes in 1.18 can be
seen at https://golang.org/doc/go1.18

Go 1.18 is not yet released, though it was originally due to be released
in February. I have already set up no change rebuild PPAs to rebuild
against Go 1.18, and initial attempts with the beta have gone very
smoothly. I will update this bug with more information about those
rebuilds when I have been able to complete them against a released
version of Go 1.18.

** Affects: golang-defaults (Ubuntu)
