Go shared libraries are coming

Hi all.

I'm planning to start uploading the various bits and pieces of Go
shared libraries to yakkety in the next few days. I'll start with
golang-1.6, golang-defaults and dh-golang, and then move on through
the libraries used by the packages we really care about (lxd, snapd,
juju-core).

I've attempted to document the new world at
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IOlBWWgcDeB9PfRORENESYj8iJt4W2EwsbYcpg4akBE/edit#
but if anything is unclear, please do let me know. A package will not
start linking against the shared libraries until it is changed to do
so, so there should not be any immediate disruption, at least until I
come and start proposing patches to your packages :-) But do let me
know if you have any concerns about the direction this is going in.

Cheers,
mwh
