Re: golang 1.16 for epel7?

[Dave Dykstra]

It turned out there were a couple of significant problems with that
first build, but they are fixed in golang-1.16.13-2 which should be
in epel-testing for epel7 by tomorrow.
    https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2022-246382d5dc
It also now resolves 14 additional outstanding bugzilla CVE-related
tickets.

There are more differences now in the .spec file, but they're still
pretty minimal and all within %if statements so it could certainly be
shared with the Fedora builds.
