Re: Respect go version from go.mod

Hi Nuno,

I don't think so.  Go has pretty good backwards compatibility
and will on its own honour the toolchain version declared in go.mod.
I.e. it won't apply later language changes to projects declaring
an earlier Go version.

Plus we don't ship some of the versions that can be declared (such
as 1.16) anymore.

Yours,
Robert Clausecker
