[Bug 1555856] [NEW] move to per-Go-major version coinstallable packages

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

To make maintenance of Go easier in the future, we've decided to allow
major versions of Go to be co-installed (like gcc-4.9, gcc-5, etc). The
plan goes something like this:

 1) convert existing golang source package to golang-1.6 source package, removing version independent things like the man pages and management of /usr/bin/go, changed to install to version dependent paths (/usr/lib/go-1.6 etc)
 2) create a golang-defaults package that contains this version independent stuff and links /usr/bin/go to the appropriate version
 3) update gccgo-5 and gccgo-6 packages to stop providing an alternative for 'go'.
