Upgrading minimum Go version?

[Curtis Hovey-Canonical]

Good discussion. I have one nuance that I think we want to discuss in
SFO. Namely, controlling the Juju tool chain.

Juju QA uses CI to make many of the things we releases, such as win
agents. We use Launchpad/Ubuntu to make Ubuntu agents and clients.
Juju QA qill soon have access to ARM hardware. When we do, we can
choose to by-pass Lp/Ubuntu for agents. The agents that were built and
tested by CI are the agents we release in streams. This permits us to
choose the best tool chain to create each series+arch combination.
This also introduces drift between what Juju officially releases, and
and Ubuntu releases.
