Support binarySource=install for go

[rarkins]

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

Support runtime installing of go

If you have any ideas on how this should be implemented, please tell us here.

binarySource=install

Is this a feature you are interested in implementing yourself?

Maybe

Now that updating the Go version in go.mod is supported (#16541), the need for binarySource has increased as it is unlikely Renovate will be running the latest Go version as it is released, and won't be able to update the go.sum file. The PR for Go 1.19 have just been created and it seems they will remain in a broken state for a few days

I'm a little confused where this stands. Am I am able to use docker as source or is it still pending resolution if I'm on Go 1.19?

https://docs.renovatebot.com/self-hosted-configuration/#binarysource

The docs don't yet mention Go, but do mention Docker as a source. If I can point to a newer version via docker as a the source I'd like to know. Thanks!

BinarySource=docker works for all package managers. This issue refers to binarySource=install

[sheldonhull]

@rarkins i still get go.mod 1.19 faulure for go mod tidy. Was hoping this would help. I've searched all the issues for a workaround but this was the closest I could find.
