[Bug 1554401] [NEW] should install to /usr/share, not /usr/lib

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Currently if you install golang-src and golang-race-detector-runtime and
then uninstall them, you get this sort of message:

Removing golang-race-detector-runtime (0.0+svn252922-0ubuntu1) ...
dpkg: warning: while removing golang-race-detector-runtime, directory '/usr/lib/go/src/runtime/race' not empty so not removed
Removing golang-src (2:1.6-0ubuntu3) ...

This is (I think) because golang-race-detector-runtime installs to
/usr/lib/go/src/runtime/race, but golang-src installs to
/usr/share/go/src and then there is a symlink from /usr/lib/go/src to
/usr/share/go/src. So probably the race detector runtime should install
to /usr/share/go/src/runtime/race -- it's a bit wrong to have an arch
dependent file in /usr/share, but go will cope.
