goawk (benhoyt/goawk) is a POSIX-compliant AWK interpreter[^1] that can benefit from the same syntax highlighting as the other AWK interpreters^2 already present in this repository.
[^1]: Note that goawk also features a CSV- and TSV-file mode,^3 which this pull request does not address in terms of highlighting. As a result, CSV- and TSV-file-mode code enclosed by single quotes might appear as if it were highlighted incorrectly or as invalid AWK. However, I believe the advantage of providing proper syntax highlighting for well-formed AWK outweighs this potential edge case and justifies the inclusion of goawk as an AWK interpreter.
