Compile with latest Go, to benefit from ability to setuid on running #7

A recent fix to Go 1.15 is that you can now setuid to run the process as a different user after it has started.

An example implementation is demonstrated by @grufwub in her Gopher/gemini server

Closing this issue since the duckling as a proxy is not running any other executables. That might be more of an issue for a general CGI capable server where there is CGI inside user dirs.
